According to the Daily Mail

a person who trapped and drowned a grey squirrel because it was raiding
bird feeders in his garden pleaded guilty to a charge under the Animal
Welfare Act 2006.

The RSPCA was apparently tipped off by a neighbour who observed the act.

Bang to rights. why the @@@@ didn't he just put out peanuts in a
bird-proof squirrel feeder? They are quite fun and do very little damage
in yer average garden
