Police Investigate Jeremy Clarkson

Chris Packham was at a farm owned by Jeremy Clarkson for a feature on a nature photography competition the programme is running. He was telling Chris packham how he wanted to attract more birds and butterfly species to the farm. They were approaching a barn, where Clarkson said he had installed an Owl Box and thought there was Barn owls nesting in it, when a Barn owl flew out and off over the fields. PC Marshall a wildlife officer watching the show at home didn't waste anytime and reported them to Thames Valley Police and they are now accused of a 'reckless disturbance of birds', which carries a maximum sentence of 6 months in prison. It is just so ridiculous! Did he think Chris Packham was going to try and pluck them alive?! When you think of all the burgularies, car robberies etc and the police are wasting their time investigating one of the countries most well known naturalists because he approached a bird nest. In fine internet tradition I'll end this post with ROLL EYES.
