Poor hawks were being harassed by red-winged blackbirds, robins and crows. They couldn't even sit on a branch for a minute without being attacked.

Eyas have arrived at the Wexford Nest

On Monday May 2nd Gary noticed the adult on the edge of the nest. On Tuesday May 3 Gary confirmed that they have at least one eyas. Again the nest is quite deep so it will be a few weeks before we can tell if there is one, two, three or more.

Keep watching for news.

Both adults were also seen flying together. The male seems to be doing most of the feeding of the young.
