Fiadhna flies free over length and breadth of Ireland
The fact that the bird, named after nine-year-old Fiadhna Tangney, from the Black Valley, in Co Kerry, could fly so freely and safely was also held out as an example that eagles can survive here – if given the chance.
Satellite tracking found she has been to 28 counties in nine months – the exceptions being Wexford, Mayo, Sligo and Roscommon – without being harmed.
