...Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, 70 — appointed Master of
The Queen’s Music last year — insists the Icelandic
whooper swan was already dead when he found it near
his home in the Orkney Isles.

Cops raided his house on Sanday with a search warrant
after spotting it hanging up. The birds are protected
under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.

Yesterday, Sir Peter denied any wrongdoing to the BBC’s
Around Orkney programme.
His London manager added that swans are often killed by
flying into power lines and it was "not unusual" for
people to eat them on the Scottish isles.
