Do You Know The Greenwich Duck Killers?

TO Shooters Hill, in London’s Royal Borough of Greenwich, where the hunt is on for three men and a child killing birds on Eaglesfield Pond. The sign on the park’s gate reads:

The sign includes a phone number. And – get this – it’s been used to make threatening calls, like this one:

 “Hello there. Just to let you know we’ve killed two more ducks tonight, and if you put up any more notices we’re going to kill some more.”
