    Share Share Post
    The names of some of the wild birds in this district are :- The Wren, Robin, Blackbird, Swallow, Cuckoo, Thrush, Lark, Seagull, Sparrow, Pigeon and Rook.
    The Robin.
    The robin is a fairly small bird. It has a green back and a red breast. It is said that the way it got its red breast is that when our Saviour was Crucified it tried ti pull the nails out of his hands. And some of his blood went on its breast and made it red. It builds its nest in a hole in a ditch and it sits on the eggs three weeks.
