Millions of birds vacuumed to death annually in Mediterranean

New research has discovered that millions of birds are being vacuumed up as part of nocturnal suction olive harvesting in the Mediterranean.

From October to January the machinery operates at night and in Andalusia, Spain, an estimated 2.6 million birds are vacuumed to death annually, with the regional government recently putting a stop to the practice. In Portugal, some 96,000 birds are thought to die every winter.

Something I didn't think happened on Kefalonia: yesterday morning the municipality's Deputy Director of Technical Services, Theodoros Kalogeroporos, was taken to hospital after being physically attacked in his Argostoli office by two unknown hooded assailants. Two men, one believed to be Greek and one said to be a foreign national, were later arrested by police and coast guard officers in Poros port as they awaited the ferry departure. Reason for attack so far unknown. Incident condemned by island's political parties and unions.
