An Crotach

Lena scréach shainiúil agus gob fada cuarach, tá an crotach éasca le haithint. Tá cluimhreach liath agus donn aige agus tá sé ban in íochtar. Beathaíonn sé ar fheithidí, chaora agus shíolta. Neadaíonn sé ar an bportach idir Aibreán agus Meitheamh, ag breith ceithre ubh in aon ál amháin in aghaidh na bliana.



Curlew

With its distinctive cry and long curved bill, the curlew is easily identified. It has grey and brown plumage with a white underside. It feeds on insects, berries and seeds. It nests on the bog between April and June, laying four eggs in only one brood per year.
