| A goose fitted with a £3,000 electronic transmitter to chart its migration has been tracked 4,500 miles (7,245 kilometres) by satellite - to an Eskimo hunter's freezer.
Kerry was one of six Irish light-bellied brent geese being followed on their migration routes by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire.
Having almost completed the arduous journey, Kerry was tracked to an Eskimo's home on remote Cornwallis Island.
And after knocking on the door, researchers were led to his freezer where Kerry lay after being shot - still wearing his bleeping transmitter.
The hunter was somewhat surprised," Dr Robinson said. "He did not know what the device on the goose's back was.
Another of the six geese is also thought to have been shot |
