#OpOwl

The use of poison to kill birds of prey is dangerous and illegal. It is not only dangerous to the birds of prey that are sadly targeted, but to wider wildlife, domestic animals and people. Incorrect and illegal use of poisons is indiscriminate and lethal.
You can help.

With support of RSPB Birders UK National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU) Natural England Norfolk & Suffolk & colleagues, we carried out some searches today. Raptor persecution is something taken seriously in Suffolk and we’ll continue to target this evil criminality. Help us stamp this out for good. #opowl #233 1639 1238

#OpOwl North Yorkshire Police @northyorkmoors RSPB Birders great start to Operation Owl

Icymi please retweet this North Yorkshire Police #OpOwl initiative

Yesterday in North Staffordshire a farmer who we work with contacted regarding a young Tawny Owl which was on a track and was worried it could get hurt. We arrived and placed it safely in a tree and not long after the parent bird came to feed it. Great result #opowl #farming

Today, I’m branded up and on a mission... #OpOwl #RSPB

We are privileged enough to be monitoring a number of Severn Trent sites across the Midlands. Yesterday we were checking nest boxes & found 3 healthy barn owl chicks with a fantastic cache of food even in this weather. Shows the importance of sites like this for wildlife #opowl

Protecting Norfolk's wildlife #OpGalileo #OpOwl Norfolk Rural Crime - Operation Randall

Operation Owl, keep eyes peeled. North Yorks is responsible for the highest no.of raptor deaths in England, not a record this beautiful county should be associated with. Help crack down on't persecution & report any suspicious activity. #opowl #raptorpersecution #stopthekilling

Apparently today is #YorkshireDay spare a thought for all those birds of prey illegally killed in this raptor persecution hotspot
Just one example: …ptorpersecutionscotland.wordpress.com/2020/07/14/yet…

Hi everybody! It’s Alex! This weekend is #OperationOwl a national event to raise awareness of Raptor persecution. We must protect Birds of Prey! I’m doing an event with Rugby Police Warwickshire Police Cadets tomorrow. Watch this space! #ProtectWildlife #AlexandersJourney UK National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU) #OpOwl

More informed eyes on the ground is exactly what we need to tackle illegal persecution of birds of prey #OpOwl @northyorkmoors Yorkshire Dales National Park @NYPRuralTF RSPB Birders

As a (North) Yorkshireman, the facts on raptor persecution exemplified by this #rspb map are particularly depressing. Time to restore a little pride in my county! 😊 #OpOwl #GoldenSheep
