The Raptor politics web site has been designed to publicise instances of illegal persecution of protected birds of prey by some gamekeepers on England’s moorland shooting estates. Raptor Politics - Illegal Peregrine and raptor persecution in the North West of England

The site askes the question, are England's birds of prey really protected by law?

In the short time since the site was launched, it has shot up the ranking in the top 1000 birding web sites from over 1000 to 118.

A most interesting site Terry. The raptors of NW England have been crying out for something like this in their corner for a long time.
