ANOTHER white-tailed sea eagle, introduced to Killarney National Park as part of a nature restoration project, has been found dead, believed poisoned.

Project director Dr Allan Mee confirmed the carcass of the male bird had been found wedged on a tree, but in the water, in the River Laune, near Beaufort, Co Kerry.

It was the 12th of the 55 eagles reintroduced to die.
