Red Kite Found Poisoned

A rare bird of prey was found dead by an unsuspecting member of the public this week in North Yorkshire.

It is suspected that the kite was poisoned with rat poison, an illegal pesticide. A full investigation is underway.

It is thought that the kite was not directly poisoned but was shot down and managed to survive by eating poisoned rats and carcases.

Let us know your thoughts on this….
