"Welsh incidents represent 10% of all UK bird crime. The number of reported crimes against wild birds in Wales has reduced slightly - but the figure is still too high, an RSPB report says. Its investigations unit received reports of 128 incidents of wild bird crime in Wales in 2007, 15 fewer than in 2006, which had seen 143 crimes.
