Red Kites Ireland

What a great viewpoint earlier this week for the #HawkEyes team to meet people to talk about buzzards and kites in the #MountainsOfMourne during #HeritageWeek

The Hawk Eyes project is tracking red kites and buzzards across the island of Ireland - come and meet some of the scientists and volunteers during #heritageweek in Avoca Co Wicklow - home of the red kite heritageweek.ie/event-listings…

The ultimate reward for an evenings roost watch, a dramatic entrance against dwindling light.

How it began How its going

Would you like to help Irish #Curlew? We are looking for skilled & motivated people to apply for a range of roles in Curlew Action Teams across 9 areas. See link below. Also listen to the calls between parent and chick ♥ #CurlewConservationProgramme npws.ie/news/curlew-co…

I released this magnificent White Tailed Sea Eagle in Killarney back in 2021, as part of a reintroduction programme. Today, this photo was taken of it out in the wild, many miles away in another province. 📸 Padraig Comerford, @npwsBioData #photooftheday

#KitePic Blue White T collected in Wales & released in Wicklow in 2011. She produced many young in recent years nesting right in the middle of a rookery each year. Found dead in 2020 on the motorway probably a collision victim #scavenging on carrion #DriveSlow @eagle_trust

Forestry plantations like this on deep peat need to be consigned to the past. They do not produce good timber, are a disaster for biodiversity, risk bog slides and river pollution, bring predator species close to breeding waders and a huge source of carbon emissions.

#KitePic Blue Red 7P - wing tags provide valuable information about movements, survival age and help identify individual birds. Important part of monitoring the kites and carried out under special licensing and trained team #blueskies @eagle_trust @npwsBioData

Among the best things we can do for climate, biodiversity and water quality would be the restoration of our native forest. Large, connected, beautiful woodlands that are never chopped down but allowed to evolve indefinitely. irishtimes.com/news/politics/…

Thank you to all of you who have sent us in records of red kite winter roost sites, numbers, dates and times. We are collating numbers and if you have any more to add #letusknow this week so we can do a final tally @eagle_trust @meathcoco @Fingalcoco @wicklowcoco @wexfordcoco

This Red Kite looking right down the lens barrel, quite a spectacle & as it got closer it pulled some ‘G’ and went right over me! Amazing. Taken @argatyredkites centre, the work that Tom & his team do there is amazing #TwitterNatureCommunity #birdtonic #nature @CanonUKandIE
