Fifth eagle dies from suspected poisoning

AN EAGLE restoration project in Kerry has received a further setback with the death of yet another bird, believed to be from poisoning.

The results of toxicology tests on the white-tailed species, found dead outside Killarney late last week, are due within a few days.

The male bird is the fifth sea eagle to have died since the restoration project started in Killarney National Park almost two years ago.
