Dead golden eagle found in plastic bag near Stirling

A police spokesperson said: “Golden eagles are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland, external.

“Inquiries have been ongoing and now officers are appealing for help to find out how it came to be there.”

The force is also involved in the investigation into the red kite’s death.

RSPB Scotland said the bird of prey, also a protected species, was found by a dog walker at Spinningdale near Dornoch in April.

It said the results of a post-mortem examination and toxicology analysis were consistent with Carbofuran poisoning.

The pesticide has been banned for more than 20 years.
