The UK's oldest wild White-tailed Eagle has died aged 32, RSPB Scotland has announced.

The eagle, a female named Frisa, hatched in Mull in 1992, where she spent almost three decades raising chicks, becoming a regular on TV nature programmes.

She was the daughter of Blondie, who successfully raised the first White-tailed Eagle chick to fledge in Scotland following the reintroduction of the species in 1975.

She was featured on last night's Springwatch, in a piece on Dave Sexton.
