  17. Protected bird may have been 'deliberately' poisonedpublished at 18:07 British Summer Time 24 July 2020

    A buzzard which was found dead on moorland in North Yorkshire earlier this year may have been deliberately poisoned, police say.

    Buzzard

    The bird, a protected species, was found by a member of the public on 20 March and reported to the RSPB before being removed.

    The buzzard (similar to the one pictured above) later underwent a post-mortem examination which revealed the presence of Chloralose, a highly toxic chemical, in the bird's body.

    Given the buzzard was in good bodily condition and had no injuries, this chemical is now believed to be the cause of death, according to North Yorkshire Police.

    Insp Matt Hagen said: "Chloralose was commonly used as a rodenticide to kill mice but is only currently permitted for use indoors at a low dose.

    "As such, it is highly unlikely this buzzard could have come into contact with the poison accidentally and suggests it may have been deliberately poisoned.

    “Unfortunately, this is the latest in a number of similar cases where birds of prey have been subjected to cruel and illegal persecution here in North Yorkshire," he added.

    Anyone with information about the death of the bird is being asked to contact North Yorkshire Police.

    Steve Shipley, from Driffield, took the photos of the falcon on the coast in Yorkshire.

    The juvenile bird was spotted picking at mask, which it was holding in its talons.

    Steve said: "It's quite a sad sight really, to see the falcon with the mask. They're there to protect us and it's not protecting the bird. It can cause a lot of damage to them.

    "It's a matter of people being a bit more responsible and disposing of the masks properly. The masks are there to protect us, and the least we can do is not put anything else in danger."
