“A white-tailed sea eagle found dead in West Cork was poisoned, but the cause of death of a second sea eagle in south Kerry has not been determined.
The birds had been among 100 released in Killarney National Park as part of a reintroduction programme between 2007 and 2011.
So far, 26 have died, including 12 from illegal poisoning.
An autopsy on the female found washed up on the seashore near Glengarriff on Jan 18 confirmed poisoning, believed to be from eating carrion. ”
