Had already seen this Stephen, but it is very good news (the original article from birdlife made me feel sick and gave me bad thoughts about "nuking" Cyprus).

Let us hope that that this small step in progress continues to escalate.

Excellent news,glad to hear that the SBA has finally got off its backside and taken action.I sincerely hope that these guys get the maximum sentence, and this hopefully will be a deterent to others.

Thanks for the update Stephen R.

This really was an utterly mindless and cowardly act, one which beggars belief. How anyone could destroy such amazing creatures for any reason, let alone for so-called sport, is beyond me.

If they're found guilty let's hope they get punished by means of 52 lashes - with a crowbar!:hmpf::hmpf::hmpf:

This just makes me want to give up and throw in the towel:
