Golden eagle escapes from falconry facility in Northern Ireland

A golden eagle named Loki escaped from a falconry facility in Ballyclare, County Antrim, on Wednesday due to storm damage. The four-year-old bird has been spotted several times but remains at large. The falconry business, Hawk Walks Falconry Experiences NI, is concerned for Loki's safety. They have asked the public to report sightings without attempting to capture him. Golden eagles were reintroduced to Ireland about 20 years ago after being extinct on the island. Currently, no golden eagles are known to be nesting in Northern Ireland.
