A map of rare bird nesting sites is being created by
police in a bid to protect them.
Birdwatchers are being asked to report nesting sites of
rare birds in Cornwall
In 2011 a number of goshawks, peregrine falcons and a buzzard
were killed in the force area.
Wildlife crime officer, Paul Freestone, who is behind the
project, said birds of prey were especially prone to egg theft and persecution
at this time of year.
He said: "The map will be used to build a picture of
where to target resources and plan future operations."
Mr Freestone said he wanted people to report the nesting
sites of all "Schedule
1" birds, which included goshawk, kingfisher, barn owl and peregrine
falcon.
Reports can be sent to
paul.freestone@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.
