Have you ever been looking closely at a bumblebee and seen her lift one leg up in the air?
This is called the "disturbance leg-lift response", and is a "go away" warning signal from a bee who feels threatened!

First male white-tailed eagle to breed in Ireland in over a century found dead in Co Clare
While white-tailed eagles donβt often die from poisoning, a βdisturbingβ increase in poisonings has been observed over the last three to five years.
1. All eagle deaths, esp in a small population, are a loss but some are harder to take than most. Sadly, our 1st breeding male, released in 2008, was recently picked up dead. This bird deserves a proper obituary to put his life (and death) in context
