The RSPB has seen a mass exodus of volunteers and researchers after a manager with decades of experience was sacked over unfounded claims he treated a Syrian colleague 'like a slave'. Described as a “truly devoted” manager, Dr Paul Morrison, 72, led a team on a Northumberland bird nesting island before being sacked by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds over a string of unfounded allegations.
Lord Ridley said: "For us Northumbrians, the thriving bird colony on Coquet Island is a very special place: roseate terns breed nowhere else in Britain and Paul Morrison had found ways to increase their numbers fivefold, a remarkable achievement."When I was a trustee of the island's owners, I was able to visit the island annually and I am shocked by the way Paul has been treated.
