Recovering fingerprints from feathers & eggs

[Still Waters]

A newly-discovered method of recovering fingerprints from feathers and eggs could help catch those guilty of wildlife crime, according to scientists.

Researchers at Abertay University, based in Dundee, have established which fingerprint powders are most effective at developing fingermarks on the feathers and eggs of birds of prey.

The discovery means that police can establish whether a bird or egg has been handled by a human.
