African Harrier Hawk Shot at Golden Harvest

Sad news from the Urban Raptor Conservation Trust - it seems a juvanile African Harrier Hawk has been shot with an arrow at Golden Harvest - and is flying around impaled:



Sadly this is quite probably the bird i photographed and blogged about here a few weeks ago. I intend to go and have a look for it in its usual haunts as without medical intervention this magnificent bird will surely die - sometimes I despair at human behaviour - all i can say is that i hope to someday get my hands on the culprit!
