North Wales Police are appealing for information following the discovery of a poisoned peregrine in June.
The bird was found at a quarry in Penmaenmawr and toxicology tests revealed it had been poisoned with a rodenticide.
It’s possible then that this was the result of an accidental poisoning (as rodenticides can be used under certain controlled conditions), but the death is being treated as suspicious because two years ago a pigeon was found, at the same quarry, smothered in poison and tethered to a rock – obviously placed as a poisoned bait (see here).

In July this year, four peregrines (3 chicks and 1 adult) were found dead on their nest ledge at a quarry site in the Nantlle Valley, Gwynedd. Police suspect they too had been poisoned (see here).
