    has any one got any info on these reintroduced birds and whether they have bred this year? I know it might be a bit too soon for the sea eagles to reproduce but the golden eagles and kites should hopefully produce a few birds this year.

    can mod change spelling in headline to breeding.

    The only bit of info i heard, was from the Golden Eagle Trust facebook page.
    They said that there is chicks in 2 Golden eagle nests in Donegal.
    They also said that they reckon there are between 10-20 red kite nests in wicklow but they havent finished nest counting yet.
    Last year they had 11 red kite nests in wicklow, so things seem to be on the up for the kites.

    A bit early yet - they are usually hesitant to release too many details while breeding is still ongoing, probably more info will be had in late summer:)
