BirdLife Malta 81d ago

🇲🇹 Matul ix-xahar ta' Marzu, tim ta' BirdLife Malta irrapporta 14-il mansab, li erbgħa minnhom għandhom jispiċċaw il-Qorti. Mis-siti li rrapportajna ġew ikkonfiskati, 12-il xibka, 29 għasfur tal-għana u 12-il apparat ta' għajjat elettroniku. F'dan iż-żmien tas-sena, l-insib illegali tal-għasafar tal-għana jsir bil-moħbi u l-imnasab insibuhom f'postijiet fejn ma tantx jagħtu fil-għajn. Ma tantx jużaw għasafar ħajjin biex jattiraw oħrajn li jkunu qed ipassu u minflok jużaw aktar apparat ta' għajjat elettroniku li jista' jintefa malajr. Il-maġġoranza tal-imnasab kienu jinsabu fuq il-kosta tal-Lbiċ, fejn jieħdu vantaġġ mill-irdumijiet u mill-blat biex jaħbu t-tagħmir tal-insib. Dawn l-inħawi jippermettu wkoll lin-nassaba jattiraw l-għasafar tal-għana malli jaslu fuq l-art waqt li jkunu qed ipassu lejn l-Ewropa. 🇬🇧 During the month of March, the Team at BirdLife Malta reported 14 trapping sites, 4 are expected to lead to court cases. From the sites reported we had the following known confiscations: 12 Clap Nets 29 Live Finches 12 Electronic Callers. During this time of year illegal finch trapping happens more secretively, with sites being found more in inconspicuous areas and live finch decoys being kept to a minimum opting for the use of electronic callers which can be switched off easily. Most of the sites were located on the southwest coast taking advantage of the cliffs and boulder screes to hide their gear, the location also allows the trappers to attract the finches as soon as they reach land during their northward migration. #StopTrappingNow #SpringMigration #BirdLifeMalta
