Red kite eggs expected to hatch within days
Environment Minister John Gormley announced yesterday that a female red kite is incubating a clutch of three eggs, which are expected to hatch within a few days, in a nest in Co Wicklow.
It comes after the project to reintroduce rare birds of prey in Ireland suffered a major setback last week with the death of two white-tailed eagles in Co Kerry from poisoning.
