First white-tailed sea chicks in a century take wing in Co Kerry
One was hatched in Killarney National Park by a pair which had failed twice previously and the other in the Beara Peninsula, near Kenmare, by a pair in its first attempt.
The Killarney chick is being fed by its parents around Lough Lein and the trio has been seen by boatmen and tourists. The chick is likely to remain there for some months before heading off to some other part of the country.
