Chris Packham leads protest against illegal killing of a rare bird of prey

TV naturalist Chris Packham has led a protest in Derbyshire against the illegal killing of a rare bird of prey.

Hundreds of campaigners at seven sites across the country took part in Hen Harrier Day, which aimed to raise awareness of the targeting of the birds.

They are protected by law but conservationists say they are shot because they prey on red grouse
