A warning has been issued to anyone using Merseyside's greenspaces and beauty spots.
Volunteers of a wildlife group were horrified last month after a gosling was found severely injured from a suspected shot wound. Beverley Williams, from Speke, said she was alerted via social media that an injured gosling had what appeared to be an infected bullet wound in Newsham Park.
Despite being rushed to the vet on June 22, the bird succumbed to its injuries and died several days later due to the infection. Bev, who is a volunteer for the WWR Wings Wildlife and Bird Rescue group said it was “horrific” to see.
