Hen Harrier Wing-Tagging Scheme.
The summer of 2013 sees the intitiation of a project which will see some hen harrier chicks in the Slieve Bloom Mountains Nature Reserve and SPA being wing-tagged. This will hopefully provide much needed information on the dispersal and survival of the Slieve Bloom population. The project will hopefully provide data helping to answer questions such as where do some of the Slieve Bloom hen harriers go to in winter? and whether wing-tagged birds survive to return eventually to breed in the slieve blooms or other uplands?
White and pale blue has been the colours allocated to birds tagged in the Slieve Blooms this year.

Many thanks to Aidan Hynes FAS Camross Supervisor and crew (including Chris Conroy) and in addition Ger O'Mahony Laois County Council for help in the much needed upgrade of the upper car park at the Ridge of Capard on the Nature Reserve.
