Police search to find falcon chick thieves after raid at the Roaches
The Sentinel - 10 June 2013
THIEVES are suspected of stealing four peregrine falcon chicks from their nest at a beauty spot.
Police and wildlife experts are investigating the disappearance of the young birds of prey from a nesting site at the Roaches, in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
Staffordshire Wildlife Trust (SWT), which had been keeping the nest under observation, believes the chicks were just two weeks away from being able to fly.
Now SWT – which has just taken over the running of the Roaches – is working with Staffordshire Police and the Peak District National Park Authority to find out what happened to the birds.
