A Russian eagle being tracked by scientists via a GPS collar has cost them a small fortune in roaming charges – after it flew out the country.
The migrating bird, named Min, was fitted with a device designed to text its coordinates back to researchers.
But they had not reckoned on the Steppe eagle– which usually migrate to southern Russia or Kazakhstan – taking a 3,000-mile scenic route all the way to Iran.
