The Manx Wildlife Trust says the most famous bird on the Island has died.

Peregrine Falcon Orange 27, named after her colour ring, died yesterday.

She'd lived around Douglas for 11 years and was often photographed on church spires, particularly St Mary of the Isle on Hill Street.

It's believed the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is looking into her death.
