In Seach of Millstreet’s “Golden Eagles” on this April Day!
Motivated by Michael’s wildlife breaking news many went to check out the amazing sight in West End, Millstreet. Alas … Mary O’Sullivan of Millstreet Museum, Noreen Higgins (nee Murphy) of Holloway, London and Killarney Road, Millstreet and Liam Flynn (with binoculars!) only discovered a crow which also came to investigate! Wonderfully Creative Website Administrator, Michael Cashman…likes to be extra creative on 1st April. Even the media like “The Corkman” rang to discover the full story! Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
And our three dedicated Researchers continued to search….but no sign of those golden eagles…as yet anyway!

I love the excitement that Golden Eagles have caused in Millstreet.
Golden eagles nesting in Millstreet under the bell of Millstreet Town church spire quite amazing indeed
Methought the one who witnessed this had a bit too much of dizzy weed
But then strange stories we read and hear of every day
And anything is possible in life as they do say
On an article he published on the Millstreet Website
Of a pair of golden eagles nesting under the church spire Michael Cashman did write
An amazing story that has traveled far and wide
Beyond the borders of Duhallow’s green old countryside
Sean Radley online posted images of Liam Flynn with binoculars viewing the church spire
But of looking upwards Liam Quickly did tire
Noreen Higgins and Mary O Sullivan were also looking upwards but all they did see
Was a crow on the spire of the church of Millstreet Town enjoying the scenery
But the surprised look on their faces left a lot to be desired
Though from a hoax many an amazing story is inspired
One might say quite a good show of make believe
Though not everyone is easy for to deceive
A story by Michael Cashman that has taken to flame
That does not seem quite right for want of a better name
Of golden eagles nesting in Millstreet Town on April Fools Day
You can fool some but not everyone as the wise one does say.
