   The partridge is seen in lands and fields in the winter. It is a grey bird about the size of a seagull.
   When the curlew gives a double whistle it is a sign of bad weather, but when it gives only the single whistle, dry hard weather will follow.
   The wild swan is a large white bird about once and a half the size of a goose. It is a beautiful bird with a very red bill and all the time making motions with its wings. The female swan lays two or three eggs in the soft boggy lands near the river bank. A few years ago there were not many to be seen on the River Blackwater between Lismore and Fermoy, a distance of sixteen miles. From ten to fifteen of them rise up in the air together and when flying along they make a whizzing sound, and if you listen to them you hear a sound of wack, wack, wack. They are to be seen on the river banks at all times of the year.
   The crane is a long thin bird with a very long neck. The body seems to be all bones with no flesh on it. It is grey in colour and lives on small side streams and rivers.
