BLACKSPOT FEARS FOR LOST EAGLE

A YOUNG golden eagle fitted with a satellite tag has disappeared in an area of posh hunting estates known for wildlife crimes.

The bird, which hatched in Tayside in 2022, went missing in moorland in the Angus Glens which has a long history of illegal bird of prey persecution.

Investigators say they believe the eagle was killed and the tag destroyed after it suddenly stopped transmitting in May.
