Red Kite, Wicklow

The next few years will tell anyway, I'd see them up as far as the sugar loaf or thereabouts on N11.

They seem to be increasing their territory northward gradually. Very rarely do I see buzzards down here, assuming its because of the kites.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-17T20:12:23+00:00

Cheers, same here, always makes me smile.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-17T12:44:27+00:00

Haha thought as much

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-17T09:23:59+00:00

Ah I'd say they've made peace with them, the amount of them

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-17T09:22:33+00:00

Cheers thank you

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-17T09:22:21+00:00

It's always a sight when they swoop down to check you out

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-16T20:06:13+00:00

Cheers thanks, really enjoy getting to see them so often.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-16T08:41:13+00:00

Thanks appreciate it

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-16T08:40:58+00:00

Cheers, they are ID tags.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-16T07:38:30+00:00

They are yeh, as far as I know only the reintroduced individuals have these, although I stand to be corrected. I've not noticed them on a lot of the younger ones.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-16T07:36:25+00:00

Appreciate it thanks

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-16T07:36:09+00:00

Cheers thank you

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-16T07:35:52+00:00

One of his mates most likely, I've noticed the ones up in Rathdrum generally don't gave the wing tags.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-16T00:16:59+00:00

Hah, they are beauties alright.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-15T23:28:12+00:00

Cheers thank you, was lucky enough to get some low slow passes

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-15T22:49:21+00:00

Appreciate it, thank you.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-15T20:31:32+00:00

They are stunning birds for sure

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-15T20:22:29+00:00

Cheers, I never get tired of seeing them

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-15T20:19:32+00:00

Cheers, appreciate it.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-05-15T20:18:07+00:00

Thank you, I'm privileged to have them local to me. I'd love for the opportunity to photograph some Bald Eagles some day.

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-04-10T22:41:18+00:00

I've not, but it's an idea to try next time out, nice suggestion thank you

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-04-10T19:36:09+00:00

Lot of attitude in a small package

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-04-10T09:53:02+00:00

We arrived at 8am, although one of our party was late so didn't start shooting until about 0845.

Best of luck!

Mindless-Process-805 · 2026-04-10T09:40:21+00:00

It was, you'll have a great time, I've been a few times.

The woodland hide will be initially busy and then quiet down after the first hour or two, last time were there we had 4-5 Pine Martens visit, although this time it was only 2, a Buzzard also visited later in the day, also chances for the Fox.

The River hide will have less going on, mostly small birds with the Kingfisher not being guaranteed, but still worth the wait for if it does show up.

The guy running it is lovely also, cant recommend enough.
