The RSPB indicated concern over an unconfirmed report a known Peregrine site may have been targeted in Londonderry last January and over the presence of bird control agent Alphachloralose in a dead rabbit in Tyrone last October.
The group said the Red Kite, White-Tailed Sea Eagle and Peregrine falcon were some of the most majestic of our native birds.
Yet last year, 12 of them were poisoned, trapped or shot, demonstrating that in Northern Ireland, bird of prey persecution is alive and well.
