Kidnapped eagle returns to Serbia

A young eastern imperial eagle named Feliks has returned safely to Serbia after being captured by poachers, illegally traded across the Middle East and rescued through a complex cross-border operation involving wildlife activists, refugees and the Serbian military, reports AP
The one-year-old eagle began his first migration to the Middle East last August but disappeared after his tracking signal was lost in Syria in late October.
Wildlife experts later discovered that Feliks had been captured by poachers and offered for sale through illegal wildlife trading networks.
