Map Highlighting Raptor Persecution Hotspots!

A map of Scotland has been published highlighting the persecution of birds of prey across the country. It is aimed to really highlight the ongoing effort to stop the illegal Killing of birds of prey.

Scotland is a stong hold for a large array of birds of prey found on the British Isles and has included the introduction of such species as the White Tailed Sea Eagle and the return of breeding Ospreys at many sites but these birds are still shot and poisoned to this date.

Its isn't a thing of the past as this map shows and I believe this map shows just the tip of the ice berg as this goes on in England Wales and Ireland!

See the map on the link below.
