Hawks drafted in to scare off seagulls at Royal Portrush
The eagle will land at Royal Portrush at the weekend – the feathered type that is. For now four hawks are on the course at the 153rd Open Championship to ensure spectators aren't bothered by seagulls stealing their food. Cheyenne, Caine, Bella and Aurora have their Hawk-eyes on those other birdies flying through the sky and feeling peckish as thousands of fans flock to the Food Hall when taking a break from watching the golf. Anyone who has ever been to Portrush will know that seagulls are regular visitors in large numbers so the Harris Hawks are welcome guests to the north coast invited by the R & A. Falconer David Trenier from Clear Skies NI explained to the Belfast Telegraph: 'We are here with the hawks to make sure that the gulls stay away from people eating their food.' The Open at Royal Portrush: What happened in 2019 As well as doing their job, the hawks are proving quite the attraction with adults and kids alike taking scores of selfies with them. That will continue throughout the tournament and increase on Saturday and Sunday when an American Bald Eagle called Pilgrim arrives on the scene. 'Having Pilgrim along is a tip of the hat to our American visitors,' said David who runs Clear Skies NI with his wife Joanna.

B&M's 'stunning' £10 mirror looks 'just like' £110 Next version
The mirrors look almost identical - but there's a huge price difference between the two B&M is selling a "stunning" new mirror that looks very similar to a much more expensive version. The retailer is well known for its stylish, affordable homeware - and there may be a new must-have in stock. The bargain retailer is now selling what some shoppers are calling "the bargain of the century" - a £10 mirror that's been dubbed "beautiful" and "stunning." The mirror bears a striking resemblance to a version sold by Next - but for a fraction of the price. The mirror was shared online by Instagram page @anotherbeigeterrace, who shared several photos of the product styled in their home. The medium sized mirror is rectangular and features a wavy wooden frame. The post was captioned: "My new mirror has more personality than my Monday mood. This could be one of my favourite home buys yet!! "I've been eyeing up a wave edge mirror for a while but couldn't justify the £80-£110 price tags. The price of this one however is on the last slide and NOT a typo." The post recieved many likes and comments from excited shoppers. Among them, one person said: "TEN BRITISH POUNDS?!" and a second wrote: "I have this! It's gorg isn't it." A third shopper added: "Love," and a fourth said: "Oh what a beauty. I need!!" A fifth wrote: "That's gorgeous!" The praise for the mirror continued, with one shopper saying: "Okay I need to get this! What a barg and so beautiful." A second wrote: "Love this!!!" and a third added: "Wow what a steal, it's gorgeous!" A different shopper said: "How fab! I love this" and a second wrote: "Love this! I've been looking all over for it but I can't find it." A third added: "Stunning" and another said: "The bargain of the century." The B&M mirror looks almost identical to the Laura Ashley Natural Wooden Wavy Pine Rectangular Wall Mirror from Next. The two feature matching wavy frames in a similar shade and size. The B&M mirror, which is not yet listed on the retailer's website, is priced at £10, while Next's comes in at £110. This means shoppers could save £100 by opting for the budget alternative.
