A trapper has been arrested in Gozo after he was filmed trapping illegally by volunteers from the Germany-based CABS.
The NGO said the 'massive illegal clap netting site' was set up to catch protected stints and sandpipers in the Wardija area.
The man - who is a repeat offender - was reported to the police and arrested on the site.
The net, an illegal bird caller and several plastic decoys were confiscated.
CABS Wildlife Crime Officer Fiona Burrows praised the police for quickly responding to the report which led to the arrest of the poacher. He will be taken to court in the coming days.
