Lindsey Hutchinson, who saw the Steller's Sea Eagle on Friday June 22 in Marley Hill, Gateshead, quickly called the police to alert them to the escaped bird of prey.
Gary Moore from Baywings Falconry in Walker, Newcastle, was called to rescue the bird, which is estimated to be worth around £18,000.
The owner of the eagle has now been traced and the pair will soon be reunited.

The eagle is worth 18000 pounds? Why?
I'm not sure, Barbwire, but I guess it's because such birds are so rare in the UK.
