    The wild birds are the crow, sparrow, robin, wren, swallow, magpie, jay, wild geese, wild ducks, cranes, lapwings, curlews, thrush, sock-thrush, yellow-hammer, goldfinch, blackbird, lark, cuckoo, corncrake, swan, hawk, pheasant, partridge, wood cow, pea-cock, pigeon and linnet.
    Sone of these birds go to foreign countries during the Winter. The swallow goes from us in September and the cuckoo goes in July. They return again the following April.
    The birds build their nests in Spring and it is in bushes and ditches they do so.
