The Inverness Courier is reporting that up to ten police cars and vans pulled up outside a number of farms in the Conon Bridge area this morning. The police officers were reportedly searching farm houses, outbuildings, barns and bins.
A Police Scotland spokesperson is quoted as saying: “Police are currently conducting searches in the Conon Brae area as part of ongoing enquiries into a wildlife crime investigation regarding the death of 17 birds of prey consisting of 13 red kites and four buzzards. Landowners in the area are cooperating with the searches“.

Good luck to them, but I suspect any evidence will be long gone.
Better LATE than NEVER I suppose !!!
why is no one ever caught
Here’s how the conversation goes at Police HQ in Inverness:
“Look they’ve had 3 weeks to get rid of any evidence by now. Shouldn’t we get a warrant?”
“Nah, let’s just give them a few more days, and announce we are going to do searches. That should do it……”.
