Welcome to part 3 of our mini series about UK Bird Crime. After learning about raptor persecution, I decided to dive in deeper & learn as much as I could finishing up the series with a chat with a in the field ranger for the RSPB, Patrick.

I chat to Patrick about his experiences dealing with bird crime often face to face & what measures he & his team go to, to prevent & investigate incidents.

A slight warning for this show, we do talk about graphic scenarios involving animal abuse.
