Plane flying over Crosserlough

clonmahon

Was out cycling yesterday in Crosserlough. There was a small low flying twin engined plane making repeated sweeps over the area. It had a pole projecting out of the nose, with some kind of bulb at the front of the pole. Anyone have any idea what it was at.

I'm almost sure that is the same plane I saw a few months back flying extremely low between Shercock and Bailieborough, I thought it was very odd because there are a number of wind turbines near that area.
