A police investigation has been launched after the disappearance of an eagle in North Yorkshire.
The juvenile white-tailed eagle has vanished since it arrived in the North York Moors.
Born in Dorset last year, and satellite tagged, it came to the western side of the national park on Thursday, 30 April.
Overnight into 1 May, the tag device did not communicate. There have been no further transmissions since then.
Following analysis by the National Wildlife Crime Unit, the eagle’s disappearance is being treated as suspicious, and an investigation is underway by North Yorkshire Police.
Anyone with any information is asked to call North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference 12260086274.
