ENVIRONMENTALIST HOLDS A SHOT SKYLARK IN VARNA.
A Bulgarian environmentalist holds a shot skylark, a protected rare species in Bulgaria, at the airport in Bulgaria's northeast Black Sea city of Varna October 8. Airport customs officials intercepted a 680-kg shipment of skylarks shot dead by a group of visiting Italian hunters who were trying to smuggle them out of Bulgaria as quails and sell them to restaurants in Italy.
