Please read this report from Bird Life: http://www.birdlife.org/illegal-killing
"Unlawfully shot, trapped or poisoned: a shocking 25 million birds are killed in the Mediterranean region every year", according to a scientific review carried out by BirdLife International.
The report also identified the species that are worst affected, with that familiar garden bird Chaffinch topping the 'kill list' with an estimated 2.9 million individuals taken every year. This is followed by Blackcap (1.8 million), Common Quail (1.6 million) and Song Thrush (1.2 million). This last species is a Red Listed Species of Conservation of Concern in Britain, while Common Quail is Amber listed, both due to population declines."
