This link in the Daily Mail today will no doubt stir up the anti-raptor lobby. Obviously it could be photoshopped, it offers no new information, we all know Eagles will take weak or dead lambs and if it is genuine was the lamb dead before the Eagle took it?
I find the explanation of anonymity from the alleged 'bird watcher' a little ironic given that he has more or less stated where he was and suspect that this either means he isn't a birder at all or is trying to avoid criticism for selling his image to the tabloids in full knowledge that it would add grist to the mill of those that persecute our raptors and would seek to cull them.
Also interesting that rather than approach the Daily Mail direct the image appears to have come through a publicist/PR company who handles both business and private clients. Puts a big question mark over the motives in my eyes.
