6 months ago, it was just an egg in a nest on a lakeside in Iceland. At 3 months, its parents navigated it over the ice cap & straight out to sea where it completed the 1000-mile migration. Sadly, it won't be doing the return. It's met its end by colliding with a UK powerline 1/3

Hi UK, here they come! Huge start of bird migration from the Waddensea westwards. Currently an bird migration traffic rate of 9000 birds per km per hour. Enjoy 😉

Female Pallid Harrier quick field sketches from Warham Greens, Norfolk. The harrier performed well and landed close by on the open saltmarsh for around 10mins. Well streaked when seen close but streaking not at all obvious when the bird is distant.

Absolute scenes tonight, as men with guns scramble to explain, by reading from a script, why men with guns aren't responsible for other men with guns shooting protected birds in places where men with guns pay lots of money to shoot other birds, using guns. @AimtoSustainUK

It’s hard not to feel frustrated by the horror and injustice of raptor persecution, and many of you want to take immediate action. By supporting the RSPB's Investigations team you’re helping them keep up the fight against raptor crime: rspb.org.uk/donate/help-us…

Think how hard it is to secure footage like this - to show so clearly what these #criminals are up to, far from prying eyes, worried only about being caught out by tracking technology. How often do you think these crimes can be documented like this, and how many go unrecorded?
