Poisoned Peregrine found in Lanarkshire in February 2014


peregrine5bSome online postings have appeared over the last few days which make allegations of improper conduct regarding an on-going investigation into a poisoned Peregrine Falcon found in Lanarkshire in February this year.  NWCU are supporting Police Scotland in their investigation of this poisoning incident, which was reported by a member of the public. Formal operational procedures have been followed throughout and whilst the investigation is on-going further comment is inappropriate.  The investigation is being conducted with utmost care, and third party reports in the media of improper conduct are wholly uninformed.
