A critically-injured buzzard has been euthanised after being found shot earlier this month.
The buzzard was found on Friday 14th February (Valentine’s Day) on Brownmoor Lane in Huby, near Easingwold in North Yorkshire. It had five shot gun pellets in its body and one had shattered its wing.
North Yorkshire Police are appealing for information and can be contacted by phone or email (see here for press release and contact details).
Well done to them for a timely and informative press release (published within 7 days of the injured bird being discovered).
Hope they get the trigger happy scum.
