A number of rare African birds
have ditched warmer climes and have taken up residence in Ireland’s deepest,
dankest low-lying bogs.
According to Bord na Móna, the
peat and energy semi-state, three glossy ibises, normally found in North Africa, have
moved to a bog in Co Westmeath and another has been spotted at a bog in Co
Offaly.
It said there have been a number
of other sightings of rare birds, including a whitetailed eagle, on Irish bogs
in the past few weeks.
