More WTE's

Another WTE update. I got great views the young pair of eagles last Friday. As you can see there was a little bit of aerial display happening between the two. Interestingly though I had Inverted Triangle, the female roosting with the single male F Bar on one night last week so maybe she is keeping her options open?

While driving up to Mayo on Saturday morning I had an eagle flying over the road not far from Westport. I managed to grab the camera and fire off a few record shots to try and establish what individual it was. I thought it may have been D or F Bar but no, amazingly it was a new individual C Bar! He comes from the same batch as D & F Bar which were released in 2011. This male was last seen up on Lower Lough Erne, Co. Fermanagh in September. I wonder where it's been since? Couldn't pick it today on the radio receiver, maybe it was just passing through. I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up in Connemara at some stage, seems to be the place to be for WTE at the moment!

The female is one year older than the male and you can see the difference in the tail colour between the two.

The size difference is very noticeable with the female being bigger.
