Police are appealing for information following the suspicious disappearance of a white-tailed eagle in the North York Moors.

The satellite-tagged juvenile white-tailed eagle, known as G834, was born in the wild in Dorset in 2025 and travelled widely across England this spring before arriving in the western North York Moors on 30 April 2026.

Overnight into 1 May, the bird’s tracking device stopped communicating and no further transmissions have been received.

Following analysis by the National Wildlife Crime Unit, the eagle’s disappearance is being treated as suspicious and an investigation has been launched by North Yorkshire Police.

Anyone with information is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference 12260086274.
