135.Who killed the White-tailed Eagle? Northern Germany, September 2013/July 2014

The bird was found dead, but without visible injuries, under a power line near the village of Muxall last autumn. The post-mortem examination at the Leibnitz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Reasearch (IZW) provided no answers. Now a taxidermist discovered that a rubber bullet stuck in the bird´s head - obviously the eagle was shot with this special ammunition, which can´t be be seen on x-rays. According to the article, several birds were found dead in the same area in 2009, all of them poisoned by the insecticide parathion (E-605).
