Police are describing the
shooting of red kites as "totally unacceptable", after another bird
was killed in North Yorkshire.
A member of the public found a
dead adult red kite at Timble Ings, between Harrogate and Skipton, on Monday.
It was taken to a vet to be
examined and X-rayed.
A number of shotgun pellets were
found in it, and this appears to have been the cause of death.
In the last two months, six red
kites in North Yorkshire have been shot or died in circumstances which suggest
poisoning.
The red kite found at Timble Ings
will have been killed sometime before it was found, and police are appealing
for information to help bring those responsible to justice.
