Leave a commentA juvenile White-tailed Eagle was seen in the Coonagh area this morning. It had an orange tag on the left wing. The right wing tag was not seen so it’s not possible to determine whether it is a 2014 or 2015 bird. Please report any further sightings of this bird along with wing tag details if possible (per Alam Mee).
