    The sea birds are the gulls the Puffin and Corerment.? Some of the birds migrate the Red Wing and Field Fare and Wild Geese leave our land and migrate to the cold North lands in April then they return to us in November.
    There are also other birds which comes to us in Summer they are cuckoo, corn crake and Swallows. When the sea gulls come inland in winter it is the sign of a storm on the sea.
    When the crows fly low it is the sign of a storm inland. There is another thrush which sings in the storm he is called the storm thrush.
