“We’ve already seen one of the birds fly from Killarney National Park to Tipperary over the bank holiday weekend and another has shot across to the east Cork coast before double-backing to Limerick,” said Minister of State for Heritage Malcolm Noonan, who has responsibility for the NPWS. As well as migratory routes, it has helped inform researchers about some of the pressures the birds face enroute.
