This paper looks at lead pellets retrieved from shot Mallards in the 2020/21 shooting season at a time long after the use of lead ammunition to shoot ducks was made illegal in England (similar but slightly different rules apply in other UK nations). Most Mallards in the study were shot with lead ie they were illegally shot.
The paper is a good clear read – unless of course you are a shooter, and then it is uncomfortable reading documenting the lack of compliance with the law.
