  2. Local Birds

    Share Share Post
    There are many different sorts of wild birds around this district of Claudia namely, the crow, pigeon, thrush blackbird, the robin, and the magpie.
    The people around this district say, that if a magpie flies across the road, it is very unlucky. The thrush, blackbird, and robin, mostly build their nests in hedges, or in clumps of briars. Those birds stay with us the whole year
