Depressing news. Amazingly Glenogil estate is the same estate that was given a record financial penalty a couple of months ago for poisoning offences:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environmen...e.conservation Interesting story about the owner here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...-the-glen.html which contains the priceless quote: "When this estate came up for sale I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the caretaker of a very special bit of Scotland," |

Interesting too, that it was the neighbouring estate owner who reported the find!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environmen...e-conservation http://www.guardian.co.uk/environmen...a-eagle-poison Another 3 links about mentioned WTE connected to the same 'report' So sad to hear about this at all, and to see the bird in flight before the inhuman 'sadistic' discovery was made.
