- This paper described the application of laboratory techniques to fieldwork for recovering fingermarks from bird of prey feathers. This will greatly aid prosecutions for wildlife crime. We have worked with NatureScot and Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture throughout. We established that green magnetic fluorescent powder was best under a range of environmental conditions. We have presented at international conferences – Society for Wildlife Forensic Science (2017), Forensics Europe Expo (2018) and the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences (2018), had extensive exposure in both local and national press and appeared on national television (Crimewatch Roadshow, 2015).
