Regular blog followers will remember the golden eagle that was found poisoned on Glenbuchat Estate last March (see here). What wasn’t reported at the time was that this young eagle was one of a pair of twins from 2010 being satellite-tracked by the RSPB (unfortunately, the movement maps of these two birds were not made public). The poisoned eagle found on Glenbuchat Estate never reached her first birthday. Now it seems her twin has ‘disappeared’.
Her last signal was received in the evening of November 22nd 2011 in the Monadhliaths (well-known as a raptor black-spot). Her next signal was scheduled for noon the next day. It never arrived and no further signals have been received. Up until that time, the signals had all been received without any hint of a technical problem. The location of her last signal has been checked but there wasn’t any sign of her.
Suspicious, or yet another technical malfunction? Draw your own conclusions.

Modern day electronics are more than fairly reliable, that only leaves one conclusion and we all know what that is. The only problem is will anything ever be done to stop this slaughter, that question asks for another conclusion and once again we all know the answer to that one, don’t we !!!
