An Naoscach

An Naoscach

Ta gob fada ag an naoscach, agus cluimhreach bhán agus dhonn le straidhpeanna buíbhána ar a cheann agus ar a chúl. Ligeann sé scréach nuair a chuirtear isteach air, ag eitilt leis i bpatrún fiarláin. Itheann sé síolta, péisteanna agus feithidí, agus neadaíonn sé i loig fhliucha idir Aibreán agus Meitheamh.



Snipe

The snipe has a long bill, and black and brown plumage with cream-white stripes on its head and back. When disturbed it calls out, flying off in a zigzag pattern. It eats seeds, worms and insects, and nests in wet hollows between April and June.
