Eagle Star adopts home policy as birds of a feather high-tail it

Nine magnificent birds, which were among 20 recently brought in from Norway, were set free by project director Dr Allan Mee in the presence of about 30 onlookers, including tourism interests and bird-watchers.

Conditions were perfect and all of the birds flew downwind in the direction of Killarney Lakes. The birds, born last spring, were all said to be strong and healthy and fit for survival in the wild.
