- The blackbird, swallow, cuckoo, corncrake, water-hen, robin and thrush are found locally. The swallow, cuckoo & corncrake leave for warmer countries in winter. The water-hen lays blue eggs on which there are brown dots & the thrush lays the very same kind of egg. The blackbird's eggs are similar but they have black dots.
- The birds sit on the eggs for about a fortnight before young birds appear. When the swallows fly low rain is near. The cuckoo never builds her nest but goes into another nest, lays her egg & hatches it.
