Martin Hellicar - The Bird Whisperer of Cyprus!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by renowned wildlife photographer David Tipling, we witness the incredible dedication and passion of Martin Hellicar from Birdlife Cyprus. With a mischievous grin on his face, Martin holds up a limestrick with a trapped Blackcap Cyprus bird caught during autumn migration. But fear not! This is no ordinary trapping scenario. Martin is an unsung hero in the fight against illegal bird trapping in Cyprus. As part of his tireless efforts to protect migratory birds, he uses these limesticks as evidence to raise awareness about the devastating impact it has on our feathered friends. The Blackcap Cyprus, scientifically known as Sylvia atricapilla, finds itself entangled in this unfortunate situation due to illegal practices like liming and ambelopoulia. However, thanks to dedicated individuals like Martin and organizations such as Birdlife Cyprus, these precious migrants are given hope for survival. With every rescue mission and educational campaign led by Martin Hellicar and his team at Birdlife Cyprus, they strive to create a safer Mediterranean environment for all avian species. Their work serves as a reminder that together we can make a difference in protecting our natural heritage. So let's celebrate the unwavering determination of conservation heroes like Martin Hellicar who continue their noble quest to safeguard our beloved migratory birds from harm's way!
