Arrest after dead buzzard found on Glasserton Estate

Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary have arrested and bailed a 62 year old man from Whithorn in relation to a number of offences under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, following an investigation into the death of a buzzard, which was discovered on the Glasserton Estate, Whithorn, in December 2012. The case has been the subject of a detailed police investigation which included a forensic examination of the dead bird.

We don’t have any further details at the moment. Thanks to the journalist at Express newspapers for passing this info on to us.

  1. A sat-tagged Marsh Harrier also “disappeared” somewhere in the Isle of Whithorn last year. It would be interesting to know if the harrier disappeared in or around the same area.
