[QUOTE="WHIMBREL, post: 3451584, member: 8846"] [B]Wales Online[/B] have just released a news item about the worst case of [B]Bird of Prey[/B] poisoning ever recorded from Wales and the second worst recorded in the UK for over 40 years. Eight [B]Common Buzzard[/B] five [B]Red Kite[/B] and also two [B]Raven[/B] were discovered along with several bait poisoned Pheasants on the Glanusk Estate, Near Crickhowell, Powys in 2013!!! For some reason the case has only now been made public, the owners of the estate are the Legge-Bourke family. The RSPB and Dyfed Powys police worked together with other agencies and there were two arrests made, however, the Crown Prosecution Service could not find enough evidence to support a prosecution. Many might remember that Princes William and Harry's Nanny was a Legge-Bourke and the title of Lord Lieutenant of Powys is current within the family. In a starement posted on Twitter, the Glanusk Estate said the incident was 'nothing to do with the estate management team or owners of the estate' and that they 'followed and complied with and aided the investigation at all stages'. Is it not unusual that a crime inquiry of this magnitude should remain out of the public domain for all this time? Further information can be found under NEWS on the [B]Wales Online[/B] website, it makes for sad and disturbing reading:C [/QUOTE]
