Red kites, along with all birds of prey, are protected in Northern Ireland under the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order. This case is not the first time we have had reports of this nature in this same area, with similar incidents involving poisoned birds.

Raptorial refers specifically to characteristics unique to birds of prey, emphasizing their predatory adaptations and skills. Understanding the nature of raptorial birds enhances our appreciation for their ecological roles.
