World Migratory Bird Day
Sunday, 8 May 2022
The day hopes to raise awareness for the extent of bird kills that take place around the world each year. Along the coast of Africa, for example, millions of birds are trapped in nets each year. Bird populations are struggling - the Linnet has lost 50% of its population since 1980.
