A good bit breezier and cooler today, but not much in the way of rain.
The only bird news to share today comes from the Irish White-tailed Eagle re-introduction programme that has been going for a year or two based on the Shannon in the SW of the Republic. Apparently one of the young birds released there has been wandering far and wide - a bit like the young WTEs released on the Isle of Wight. This particular bird has already been clocked, via its satellite tag, making the following journeys all around Ireland and up to Scotland where it has roamed extensively as shown in this picture:
The picture below shows what it has been up to more recently - another journey north to Scotland, but this time instead of going north via Kintyre, it has island-hopped over Rathlin and up through Islay and on to Colonsay before reaching Mull. Fascinating stuff!!
