An osprey that went missing from a Scottish nature reserve for more than 18 months has been found almost 3,000 miles away - on a beach in Senegal.
The three-year-old male bird, known as Blue YD, was tagged with a lightweight satellite tracker in July 2012 at a Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) reserve near Forfar.
