Statement: Golden Eagle death
The Cairngorms National Park Authority has issued the following statement in relation to the death of a Golden Eagle in Deeside.
“The Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) have been informed by Police Scotland that a golden eagle was found poisoned on Invercauld Estate within the Cairngorms National Park. The CNPA condemns this senseless and irresponsible behaviour in the strongest possible terms. Raptor persecution has no place in 21st century Scotland and no place in this National Park. We are working closely with Police Scotland, NatureScot and a range of other partners on an appropriate, coordinated response to this incident, and will continue to work in partnership to prevent incidents like this occurring in future. We cannot make any further comment on this specific case due to the ongoing police enquiry.”
This statement is issued on behalf of Xander McDade CNPA Board Convener and CNPA Chief Executive Grant Moir.
