In answer to the threads question, Micky, I suspecf it will only end if one of two things happen

1. Heavy punitive action is taken against the land owner and his employees and I mean heavy but you will probably see pigs flying first or..

2. When Hen Harriers, Kites, Buzzards etc. cease to exist and pose no more problems for the moor owners. Obviously it's still happening because they are perceived to be a threat.

Of course we are assuming that all 3 birds were killed illegally. It is possible that they died of natural causes although....

You are right Wherenext, thing is there is a repeated pattern on repeated estates in repeated areas. The stats just don't add up for our raptors for every one or even most occurring in these circumstances being natural causes.

I happen to agree with what you say Micky but unless the law can find proof they won't do anything, besides in their eyes it's small beer. To us it's not, so punishments have to hit home and make it worth investigating.

It's an uphill battle.
