Vulture turns up at RNAS Yeovilton base after going missing from Bath and West show

A vulture who went missing during a birds of prey display at last week's Bath and West County Show has been spotted at the Royal Naval Air Station in Yeovilton.

Arthur the white-headed vulture was blown off course at the show last week.

He's been seen several times in the area in the past few days and has been feasting on a cow carcass in Somerset.

Arthur's owner, Ben Potter has had to return to his base in Yorkshire with seven other giant birds of prey but will be back later in the week while a friend keeps an eye out for his errant bird.

Ben has flown Arthur 1100 times over the past ten years and has lost him a couple of times before, but says he can usually be attracted with a piece of meat.
