Over the last two summer breeding seasons we have had a male Northern Harrier Circus hudsonis cross breeding with a female Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus at an undisclosed site in County Clare. Over the two seasons the pair have successfully raised and fledges five offspring. I managed to locate one of this years juveniles at the Shannon Airport Lagoon on 14th October 2026, where it has been making an odd appearance ever since. Here are a few shots of this immature bird from the lagoon.
