Majestic bird of prey Merrick was roaming the Scottish Borders when she went missing on October 12 last year.
Cops are hunting the killer of a majestic golden eagle called Merrick who mysteriously vanished last year and is now believed to have been shot.
Sharing details of the wildlife crime probe with police permission, project manager Dr Cat Barlow said: “We can confirm that Police Scotland has found clear evidence that a wildlife crime has been committed. They are confident Merrick’s disappearance was due to persecution. Eagle Officer John Wright, who inspected a Sitka Spruce tree which was Merrick’s last known roosting spot, said he first spotted golden feathers lying on moss under the tree.
The stunning bird was photographed on her trip in Weardale and filmed in the Nidderdale area of outstanding natural beauty.
