You have one week left to join us!

How many times have you heard of the terrifying massacre of migrating birds and felt you must do something about it?

How many times you have seen awful pictures of hunted rare birds, threatened species, and thought it is too difficult to stop these horrible activities?

People of Europe – your summer visiting birds are being killed throughout southern Europe and the Middle East and this is your opportunity to assist in the fight against the poachers. IBRCE ringers team will do the best to find as many birds as possible to assit the project of the IOC and BirdLife International called "Champions of the Flyway".

For more information about the bird race: http://www.champions-of-the-flyway.com

For helping the project and supporting our team: http://www.justgiving.com/COTFIBRCE

We know how many people visit this blog! If everyone donated even a very small amount then it could make a huge difference.

Every little helps!

Thanks,

In the name of the birds, in the name of our team.
