AN eagle that was the star of the BBC’s Springwatch programme after she fell out of her nest as a chick has wowed the region’s birdwatchers after appearing in the skies over County Durham.
Known as Sona, the white-tailed eagle had to be returned to her nest by forestry workers in Dumfries and Galloway after she was unceremoniously dumped out of it by an intruding bird on the island of Mull.
She fell 30ft to the ground in the incident in June last year and would not have survived without their intervention.
Earlier this year she was spotted in South West Scotland, an area where white-tailed eagles have not bred for 150 years.
However, recently she has flown south, appearing near Stanhope in Weardale at the end of March.
