We desperately need some convictions for these crimes - not just those killing the birds, but those who are paying them to do it.

Yet more birds of prey getting depressed, killing themselves, removing their satellite tags, then disposing of their own corpses. It's hard to believe, but the statistics don't like.
Either that or the shooting industry is involved. But that's a stretch of the imagination too far.
