An eagle owl, capable of eating a fully grown deer, has gone missing in Co. Kildare.

The female European Eagle Owl is named "Owlington".

She escaped from her home in Curragh Grange while being fed on Friday.

The powerful bird - which has a 6 and a half foot wing span - was last seen in Caragh 2 days ago.

Owlington's owner Darren Jackson says she's not familiar with the area but is most likely still in the Kildare area.

She may pose a threat to people or children if they went to pick her up.

If you do come in to contact with Owlington, take a picture and note the location.

Then contact the National Parks & Wildlife Service or local Gardai.
