July
A gamekeeper on a Scottish grouse estate is fined £10,000 and given a suspended prison sentence after being found in possession of a hen harrier egg.
On the neighbouring nature reserve, run by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, three golden eagles, a sea eagle, an osprey and two dozen golden plovers are found decapitated beneath the reserve’s ornamental wind turbine. The RSPB issues a statement blaming the appalling tragedy on “global warming” which, its expert scientists believe, is causing raptors to lose their natural ability to negotiate high velocity whirring obstacles, such as turbine blades.
