Earlier this month, PAW Scotland released the ‘2010 poisoning hotspots’ maps as part of their annual reporting. Along with the maps, they released a report called ‘Bird of Prey Poisoning Incidents 2006 to 2010 – Incident Details’. Here is a PDF of that report: 0114784
The name is a bit of a misnomer, as the ‘incident details’ are about as vague as you can get. However, the report does have its uses. There appear to be five separate poisoning incidents that took place between October and December 2010 that were not apparently reported/publicised in the press; three incidents in Tayside and one each in Lothian & Borders and Strathclyde. An internet search has failed to locate any information about these cases. Why do you think Tayside Police, Lothian Police, Strathclyde Police, and the RSPB (if they were involved in the investigation) were so quiet about these incidents?

Don’t think the RSPB would have been involved in this as they have to much to loose if it came out that they were involved. As for the Police if you don’t report crimes to the Press/Public then you don’t have to solve them, this makes life for them a lot easier and cuts costs so it is an all round winner for them. I am not at all surprised about this.
Both PAW and the police are public bodies. FOI Act requires them to provide the public with information that they hold. If either have detail of exactly where poisoned raptors were found then I cannot see how they can decline to provide it.

Wasn’t it RSPB that picked up the two poisoned eagles from a highland grouse moor last June, later confirmed poisoned but no press release by RSPB or Northern police?
