| A bird was shot on the Shannon, on Friday last by Richard
Gason, jun. Esq., of Richmond, near Nenagh, the name of which the boatmen of the
Shannon and many gentlemen have declared themselves to be ignorant. It is
somewhat larger than a duck, has no tail, and its standing position is
perpendicular, the legs being placed in the extremity where the tail in another
bird would appear ; the feet are webbed like those of a duck, but the talons are
much wider ; its neck and bill are long, and the feathers near the head ruffled.
Mr. Gason, has sent this rara avis to Glennon, Suffolk-street, Dublin, to be
preserved. |
