The RSPB says some birds of prey are still harmed illegally in Britain. The charity protects these birds. RSPB says people shoot them, trap them, and poison them. It says more than half of these attacks happen near land used for game shooting. This means hunting for animals on private land. The RSPB wants stronger action to stop these crimes. It also asks people to report suspicious activity. The group says the problem is ongoing. Protected birds should be safe, but they are not.
