Birds of both male and female look similar to adult females during their first year and they are often called ringtails.
The female gives a whistle when taking food from the male. During the summer months they breed in upland areas mainly in the South and West of Ireland. Counties Cork, Limerick and Kerry hold approximately a third of the breeding Irish Hen Harrier population. Hen Harrier make their nests during the Spring, with each producing between 1 and 6 eggs. Females are responsible for brooding eggs and minding the chicks when they are young.
