Rogue gamekeepers killing #birds of prey, says RSPB
More than 1,300 protected #BirdsOfPrey – from hen harriers to golden #eagles - have been killed across the UK over the past 15 years, according to the RSPB.
It described the deaths as a “national disgrace” and blamed the majority of incidents on rogue #gamekeepers trying to protect stocks of pheasant, partridge and grouse on countryside #shooting estates.
