“A gamekeeper has been convicted of “the worst case of bird of prey poisoning” recorded in England, the RSPB said.

Allen Lambert, 65, who worked on the Stody Estate, near Holt in Norfolk was found guilty of deliberately killing ten buzzards and a sparrowhawk and possession of pesticides and items used to prepare poison baits.

He earlier pleaded guilty to five other charges including illegal use of pesticides.

Lambert will be sentenced in November.”
