On Thursday, 29 February, wildlife crime officers acting under warrant searched an estate near Blairgowrie with the assistance of our partners the RSPB and the SSPCA.

This resulted in a 47-year-old man being arrested and charged with killing a goshawk, which is a protected bird, contrary to Section 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

The incident took place on Monday, 12 February.

Police Scotland Wildlife Crime Coordinator Detective Sergeant David Lynn said “Police Scotland will pursue anyone deliberately targeting Scotland wildlife.

"This multi-agency day of action shows our collective commitment to safeguarding Scotland’s wild animals.”

Thanks so much for this news from my home town K.

Seems I'll have to buy the Blairie this week to see if any more details will emerge!
