Dead Goshawks: on 16 January, five dead immature Goshawks were found dumped in a Suffolk car park - see our blog. Of course these birds are fully protected by law - but these all had been shot. This is a disgusting crime or series of crimes and the dumping of the bodies in a public place seems like it is some type of 'statement' by the perpetrator(s).
The RSPB was quick to offer a reward of £5000 for evidence leading to a successful prosecution and we have matched that sum. Rare Bird Alert have a public crowdfunder which takes the reward to very nearly £15,000 and rising.
Wildlife crime is shocking and its level in the UK is a stain on our national reputation.
