Who's killing cock robin? Activists point finger at Cyprus

In 40 years Cypriots have given Britain kebabs, easyJet, George Michael and Stavros Flatley.

Set against these varied gifts is a rather less palatable practice that is currently in full swing. In Cyprus they are trapping British robins, roasting them and eating them for dinner.

Many robins stay in Britain all year round but each winter thousands migrate in search of warmer climes, fetching up on the Mediterranean island.
