So there I was, belatedly reading the latest 'legaleagle' (the RSPB's quaterly magazine detailing matters relating to wildlife crime), and there was an article about a short-eared owl being shot by a gamekeeper (and not even a good shot the owl was found by onlookers and it died later on) and our very own Phil Briggs was called as the local Wildlife Liason Officer who not only scrambled a helicopter search within minutes to find the offender but also managed to secure a conviction for the offender
Congratulations!
These things so often slip through the net or fail to come to court so pleased to read of this man being brought to book. Of course my level of punishment for this man would've been significantly greater, but then I'm not a judge.
