A former Suffolk police officer, Michael Upson has pleaded guilty at Norwich Magistrates Court of possessing 650 wild bird eggs collected while he was still in the Suffolk Constabulary.
This follows a successful investigation by the Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies and the RSPB.
The 52-year-old was investigated by officers from the professional standards department. On 21 June 2012, a search by the police and the RSPB at Upson’s home revealed 650 wild bird’s eggs, including those of protected species such as woodlark, Cetti’s warbler and marsh harrier…
Sad to see that those that are there to protect everyone and everything are the ones we need to watch out for! Save the birds, even unborn ones!
