Thank you George;

I could rephrase that to say: We don't do that stuff, we just put up wind turbines on the Gulf as well as Monsanto and their competitors to kill our bird population.

Geo, here's the article about lime-sticking in the Mediterranean.

And the Frenchies eat steamed ortolans- whether having them in captivity is legal or not--Bon Appetit! Le Reynard..

I can answer this question jOe...

There are some people that you don't like here. But you DON'T cry to Dave to demand censorship.

On the other hand, there are some people here that also just don't like you. Some engage and spar with you directly, and that's all. Some others feel the pathetic need to cry to Dave to anonymously demand censorship. Some of them even feel the need to engage in internet doxxing because you choose to use a screen name. But they hide their cries for censorship behind their PM's to Dave, because they don't want everyone to know that they have less stones than school-girls. Yet they think they are better than you, and they think they have more integrity than you.

At least that is what they tell each other, and have themselves convinced is true.

Great article Gil, thanks!

Cyprus and Malta are islands that the birds rest in on the return from Africa. I would think they are pretty well tired out and need a short stop. Hardly sport. They get caught on the crossing from Morocco to Gibraltar too. Our swallow numbers were well down this year as they were being netted on their return. A lot of it is illegal but not properly enforced. It would be a bit like an unregulated Canada shooting all the ducks and geese that they can as they try to migrate south. After a few years there would be none left coming down into the U.S. Cyprus and Malta are in the European Union and break the law with impunity; whereas we in Britain abide by it. Lagopus�..

Aren't mist nets used also?

I cannot feel overly superior to the mediterraneans eating the songbirds. Back when I was BB gun age I was the terror of the local songbird population.

My buddies and I set up a blind behind our chicken pen and shot all comers. My Great Aunt Carrie was also implicated because she would clean and bake (I think) the birdies for us. They were wonderful!

With a nod to my friend hoJo's earlier post, my recollection is that they tasted just like baked chicken...Geo
