    It takes a man to be a very good shot to shoot two snipe out of every three and that is a record in Ireland.
    The wild duck is a very common bird in Ireland, they inhabit water greatly.
    They hatch their young along the river bank.
    They lay from eight to ten eggs, when the young ducks are hatched they jump in to the water, when they come out of the eggs and they swim down to the sea and live there quietly until they are big.
    They eat young fry and worms and such insects.
