    I thought this was an excellant documentary and gave a great insight into the workings of the reintroduction programme. Hopefully it will turn out to be a success and a follow up programme will be made on the progress of this scheme. Ger.
    Hi Ger,
    Here,here. I agree completely - it was a TERRIFIC programme. In fact, i'm pretty confident: we might see a 're-introduction programme'...lol. On a more serious note: it was all in one parcel -emotional, up lifting, heartening and educational...especially for our future generation. I do HOPE and pray it will at least give us an 'update' programme to see how our eagles and red kites are doing. After all, we have been without them for over a century!!

    did any of you watch yesterday's progamme...they were hand feeding a poisoned eagle at the start but they didn't update on his condition...did he survive?

    Yes fryup, good news, he survived and is doing fantastically well.

    He was in Wicklow earlier this week.

    This is the same bird, called MALE STAR: http://www.irishbirding.com/birds/web/Display/sighting/27947/Whitetailed_Eagle.html

    Super photos by Steve Millar, well done Steve.

    Hi Traonach,
    Just saw the video. It was AMAZING!!! Thank you so much. I've actually saved it in: 'my videos'. Delighted to see Roberts work was not in vein - 26 Kites doing well, and that was 2009. I hope, and i 'd say, there's plenty of off-spring today. Thanks mate for that...super. Long live the Red Kite ;)
