    There are many bild birds in our district. The largest of them is the Heron when he lets a very loud screech it is a sign of bad weather.
    The herons, build their nests in tall trees in a lonely place.
    The swallow is a migratory bird, they come to Ireland in the month of May. They repair the old nests and lay five eggs. The eggs are dotted with brown spots, and the swallow hatches for three weeks.
