Goshawks found shot dead and dumped in Suffolk forest
The goshawk is a secretive bird of prey that kills pigeons and squirrels - and is also known to eat game birds on shooting estates
The Suffolk Rural, Wildlife and Heritage Policing team at Suffolk Police are calling on the shooting community to "protect its reputation", with X-rays showing "every bird contained shot". Known as the "phantoms of the forest", goshawks are similar to sparrowhawks but much larger, with females appearing as big as buzzards.Mr Thomas, head of investigations at the RSPB, said the dead birds were "fully-grown juveniles", which they believe hatched only last summer.
