BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “Illegal killing is continuing and in northern Scotland the use of poisoned baits deliberately to kill raptors has severely limited the growth of the Red Kite population (Smart et al. 2010).”
A review of survival estimates for raptors and owls (2016, background): “Data collected by Richard Mearns, George Smith, Chris Rollie and a large number of volunteers in southern Scotland and northern England permitted us to undertake some analyses reported in this manuscript.”
The breeding performance of raptors in urban landscapes: a review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “Moreover, raptors face additional threats such as persecution (e.g. Etheridge et al. 1997; Smart et al. 2010; Amar et al. 2012) and collisions with human-made structures (Hager 2009).”
