  Amongst 
  other 
  birds 
  seen 
  during 
  my 
  fortnight's 
  stay 
  at 
  

   Narin 
  were 
  the 
  Nightjar 
  (Caprimvlgus 
  europceus) 
  — 
  one 
  flew 
  against 
  

   the 
  thatch 
  of 
  a 
  cottage 
  in 
  broad 
  sunlight 
  ; 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  Ravens 
  

   (Corvus 
  corax) 
  flew 
  over 
  Lough 
  Birroge, 
  croaking 
  loudly, 
  and 
  

   looked 
  as 
  if 
  they 
  were 
  heading 
  for 
  Arranmore, 
  where 
  a 
  pair 
  

   breed 
  ; 
  a 
  Peregrine 
  Falcon 
  (Falco 
  peregrinus) 
  flew 
  down 
  amongst 
  

   the 
  Terns 
  on 
  Kiltooris 
  Lough, 
  but 
  was 
  soon 
  mobbed 
  away 
  ; 
  

   one 
  Long-eared 
  Owl 
  (Asio 
  oius) 
  seen 
  flitting 
  across 
  the 
  stream 
  

   flowing 
  from 
  Lough 
  Pound 
  ; 
  Curlew 
  (Numenius 
  arquata) 
  were 
  

   common, 
  seen 
  in 
  flocks 
  of 
  forty 
  to 
  fifty 
  in 
  the 
  evening 
  flying 
  

   over 
  to 
  Inishkeel 
  Island 
  ; 
  Gannets 
  (Sulci 
  bassana) 
  were 
  often 
  

   seen 
  fishing 
  in 
  Gweebarra 
  Bay 
  ; 
  on 
  July 
  31st 
  there 
  were 
  very 
  

   large 
  numbers 
  of 
  both 
  mature 
  and 
  young 
  birds 
  ; 
  these 
  were 
  

   probably 
  home-bred, 
  from 
  our 
  only 
  Irish 
  breeding- 
  station.
