Appeal after five birds of prey shot dead in west Suffolk

Police are appealing for information after five goshawks were found dead having been shot in the west of the county.

The five birds of prey were found on Monday 16 January, having been left in a parking area just off from the B1106 in Kings Forest, near Wordwell.

X-rays were undertaken which showed all five birds had suffered injuries from multiple pieces of shot.

All birds of prey are protected by law, and to kill or injure one could result in jail and/or an unlimited fine.
