Wildlife cops are investigating the death of a Red Kite found in a field in Nuneaton.
In March 2021 a Golden Eagle was found dead on a hillside on the Invercauld Estate. Since then, forensic examination has confirmed the bird had been illegally and intentionally poisoned. Extensive enquiries are now being carried out and on Tuesday 4 May officers searched a number of properties on the Invercauld Estate acting under warrant. No arrests were made and enquiries are ongoing. Detective Constable Daniel Crilley, wildlife crime unit said: “Poisoning a bird or animal is not only cruel and callous but it can also harm other wildlife. Illegal persecution of raptors will not be tolerated. It is one of the six priorities set by the UK National Wildlife Crime Unit and Raptor Persecution is the current focus of Police Scotland’s year-long campaign, Operation Wingspan.
