The toxicology report is in and as suspected the three eyasses in the Riverside nest with lung hemorrhages died from eating poison mostly likely carried by a poisoned rat brought unknowingly to them by a parent. And the poison may have come from bait boxes placed inside the park.
A tragedy that has been much feared by the hawk watchers and that has been just waiting to happen.
