This week Garrett is imagining to look at a bird called a DUNLIN. Its name in the Irish Language is ‘Breacóg’ which means young speckled one. The Latin name is ‘CALIDRIS ALPINA’. This little bird is also a RED listed bird in Ireland. The collective noun for Dunlin is a flock, team, or a plump of Dunlin. They breed in tough places like Greenland, Alaska, Iceland and Siberia. It is a tough, hardy little Sandpiper type wader.
