The Irish For I am fond of the goldfinch, 'lasair choille'.

I also love watching cormorants as they transport me to the Mourne shore, and one can see why the Irish is 'cailleach dhubh'.

A woodpecker is 'snag darach' in Irish, so I have a soft spot for it.

For similar reasons I love the Irish for flamingo: lasairéan.
