Rare birds of prey in Britain are still being illegally killed despite legal protections. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) reports hundreds of attacks on these birds, often linked to land used for game shooting, and calls for stricter licensing of shooting estates to prevent this.
Key Facts
The RSPB found 921 confirmed attacks on protected birds of prey in Britain from 2015 to 2024.
More than half of these attacks happened on or near land used for game shooting.
Birds like eagles, red kites, peregrine falcons, hen harriers, goshawks, and barn owls are targeted.
The RSPB uses strong evidence such as forensic data, eyewitness accounts, and video to confirm attacks.
Investigations by the RSPB have helped convict people involved in killing protected birds, including cases where birds were trapped and beaten.
The RSPB wants gamebird shooting in England and Wales to be licensed to better control and punish illegal killing of birds.
Shooting groups deny widespread illegal killing and oppose licensing, saying it would unfairly punish responsible estates.
The government has not yet approved licensing but is open to working with the shooting community on more protections.

The UK government is planning new rules to make social media safer for children under 16. There is debate about whether to ban young teens from certain platforms or to restrict harmful features like endless scrolling, with input from campaigners, parents, and young people.
Key Facts
The UK government will act on online safety for under-16s, possibly banning their use of some social media or limiting addictive features.
Current UK rules generally set social media minimum age at 13, but no formal age limit exists for many platforms.
Ian Russell, whose daughter died by suicide linked to harmful online content, supports blocking unsafe apps to under-16s rather than a full ban.
Esther Ghey, whose daughter was murdered and reportedly affected by social media addiction, supports raising the minimum age and teaching digital skills.
Some young people, like 17-year-old Fin, think a blanket ban is too harsh and prefer more nuanced rules.
Harmful platform features under review include infinite scrolling, autoplay, and push notifications.
The government is considering an Australia-style ban on under-16s using social media.
The Online Safety Act exists to protect children but critics say it needs faster or stronger enforcement.
