Sad News from Sweden in recent days re Tag27

We have been following the exploits of tags 27 & 30 this spring as they moved through Norway en-route to their breeding grounds in Dalarna county Sweden.

Sadly it has now been confirmed that tag27 has died by natural causes. Predated by possibly either fox, lynx or taken by an eagle.

We have managed to recover the collar tag and it should be returned to us in due course. We must thank the chaps in Sweden who helped us find the remains of the bird.

I attach two pictures of its remains and the collar is clearly visible.
