- The birds to be found in this district are the robin, thrush, skylark, owl, yellow-hammer, sparrow, swallow, willy-wag-tail & blackbird. Until about ten years ago the pheasant was a familiar bird in Borris Demesne but now one is seldom seen.
In mid-Autumn the swallow, sparrow & cuckoo desert us for warmer climes but return with the Spring. In September the swallows wing their way south - I believe they go to Central Africa. The cuckoo spends the winter in the South of Europe. In Autumn the curlews, dipping & circling in the air & uttering peculiar sounds are very prevalent in the district & so plentiful are the crows that Lower Borris is often called "Crow Street". Just after nightfall the "Hoot Hoot" of the owl is heard in Ballytiglea.
