Last breeding golden eagle in Scotland poisoned
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Jun 14 2008 | By: Martin
The only breeding female Golden eagle in Scottish Borders has died, she was poisoned on the first day of the grouse hunting season! A joint investigation by Lothian and Borders Police, RSPB Scotland, the Scottish SPCA and the Scottish Executive discovered poisoned bait on a grouse moor in the Borders. Her death is especially sickening given that the pair raised a chick this year, and although the chick has fledged and is now semi-independent, it was still being fed by both parents and so there is now a significant concern for its safety.
