After noticing poachers in an important bird area setting up limesticks, we called the game reserve fund and the poachers were caught red-handed and led to the police station. Immediately after we surveyed the area just in case there were limesticcks which the poachers had not shown to the game reserve fund. Indeed we found two bushes with 50 birds still hanging alive from the limesticks, including Spanish Sparrows, bluethroats, a red-backed Shrike and Stonechats. The Bastard poachers paid for their evil deed.
