Historic conviction for possession of a dead Red Kite (1 Viewer)

A gamekeeper on the Moy Estate, notorious already for a spate of raptor poisonings, has become the first person in Scotland to be convicted of possessing a dead Red Kite, since the species was reintroduced 22 years ago.

RSPB Scotland has welcomed the successful prosecution of James Rolfe, who was fined £1,500 at Inverness Sheriff Court today on Thursday (26 May) for a crime committed in June last year, when he was working at the Moy shooting estate near Tomatin in Inverness-shire.
