This awe-inspiring species has set up home right here in Waterville at the moment, but the eagles have also been seen in nearby Caherdaniel and Lough Currane. Researchers are predicting that, if the pair of birds remain in the area, we will see the first nesting pair in Kerry in over 100 years!

Eagle Watch by Canoe
One of the best ways to witness these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat is on the water. Our Eagle Watching canoe tour will take you to the spots where we regularly spot them. After a leisurely paddle we'll land at one of the islands on the lake and have a picnic lunch before paddling back to the start point.
The trip will take about 4 hours altogether and you can paddle your own canoe guided by our instructors or for a small additional fee one of our instructors can paddle your canoe.
The cost of the trip is €45 per person including picnic lunch.
* Costs are based on a minimum of 4 people
White-Tailed Sea Eagle Fact File
Latin name: Haliaeetus albicilla
White-tailed sea eagles habitats are near large bodies of water and coastlines and the species is spread across Europe and parts of Asia.
The eagle stands at an impressive 1m high with a 2.5m wingspan. This makes them the largest eagles in Europe and the fourth largest in the world.
Sea eagles hover over water, plucking fish from the surface with their strong talons and often eating them in flight.
