Millions of songbirds are vacuumed out of trees and killed each year during the nocturnal Mediterranean olive harvest, researchers have warned.
Vast numbers of legally protected birds from central and northern Europe seek refuge in the Mediterranean basin during winter months.
At night they roost in olive bushes, just as intensive harvesting machines start stripping trees of their fruit (the harvest runs from October to January). The light of the machines dazzle and disorientate the birds, who end up being sucked into them “on a catastrophic scale”, researchers warn. There can be as many as 100 dead birds in each harvest trailer.
In Andalusia in Spain, 2.6 million birds are killed by harvesting tractors every winter
