Dead Buzzard

I’ve just found a fairly freshly dead buzzard beneath power lines on top of the hill between Bow-Street and Penrhyncoch – very near Hen Gaer above the woods behind IGER/IBERS on SN632844. Might it have been electrocuted as the power lines are not that far apart? A lot of kites and buzzards congregate up there so I worried about poison as there is a dead sheep nearby – but that’s been there several weeks. There’s no ring on its leg, but I brought it down in case anyone wanted to examine and/or stuff it. I can keep it in a freezer if necessary.
