Poisoning of wild geese by carbophenothion‐treated winter wheat
Abstract A series of incidents involving greylag goose ( Anser anser ) casualties in Angus and Perthshire and a single incident involving pink‐footed goose ( Anser brachyrhynchus ) casualties on Humberside occurred during the winter of 1974/75. The results of post‐mortem examinations and brain ester...
