An Gainéad
Is é an gainéad an éan mara is mó in Éirinn. Tá sciatháin fhada chaola aige agus dealramh todóige ar a chorp. Dath plúrbhán a bhíonn ar na cinn fásta le cloigne órga agus dath dubh ar reanna na sciathán. Cluimhreach breac dorcha donn a bhíonn ar na cinn óga. Póraíonn na gainéid i gcoilíneachtaí ar aillte nó ar oileáin charraigeacha. Tumann siad anuas san fharraige mhór le breith ar éisc.
Gannet
Ireland ’s largest sea bird, the gannet has long narrow wings and a cigar-shaped body. Adults are pure white with golden heads and black wing-tips. Juveniles have dark brown speckled plumage. Gannets breed colonially on cliffs and rocky islands. They plunge-dive for fish in the open sea.
