Devon cited for bird persecution

Devon residents are being urged to act as eyes and ears for the police to help them tackle high rates of bird poisonings.   A new report by the RSPB has revealed that last year Devon had the worst record of bird of prey persecutions in England.   Fifteen goshawks, peregrines and buzzards were found poisoned or shot.   This year, Operation Wilderness has helped police in Devon secure prosecutions against offenders who've been caught on CCTV.
