Hatched chicks boost hopes for revival of sea eagles

Eight pairs of eagles have this year nested and laid eggs, with five nests being producing in counties Cork, Clare, Galway and Kerry.
White-tailed sea eagle chicks have hatched in Lough Derg, near Mountshannon, Co Clare, Glengarriff, Co Cork, and Killarney National Park. Pairs also successfully hatched chicks at a nest in Co Galway for the first time and at another site in Kerry.
