| | | Is this a dead peregrine falcon?
Or another BOP. I found it today in the woods, just below a rocky outcrop. It hadn't been dead long. It's in good condition and there are no marks. I saw a bird like this last year on a tree branch across the stream. Could it have hit its head? Or any other ideas for death?   |

It looks like a peregrine. It could have been poisoned if there are no marks on the body..If you find BOP like this you should let the RSPB know. It so sad.  |

I have the body. I would very much like to know the cause of death, as there is no sign. Perhaps I should contact the RSPB |

Contact your local wildlife crimes officer and see what they advise  i'm afriad to say that with BOP's there is still some killing of these going on, and it may be worth finding if this is the case or not. |

It's worth chasing the cause of death up. Peregrines still suffer lots of persecution, from pigeon fanciers, halfwits, etc.
