  Gonna guess it’s due to left over fragments from WW1?

    No, it’s due to these birds eating other human-hunted animals, either alive or their abandoned interiora.

      Are folks killing animals and not eating them or butchering them for their materials? That’s fucken horrid if so.

        My guess is that migratory waterfowl eat lead shot when ‘grazing’ the bottom of wetlands. This bio-concentrates the lead in eagles when the prey on ducks and such.

    In the US it’s from lead bullets, they scavenge a lot so they eat it from shot animals.
