Madam, - I am currently conducting research on bird folklore and history in Ireland with a view to publishing a book. I would appreciate hearing from your readers regarding any folklore, myths, beliefs, traditions or piseogs relating to both land and sea birds in either Irish or English. I am also interested in Irish place names derived from or related to birds. Your readers are welcome to email me at folklore@irishbirds.net or by post to the address below. - Yours, etc,
GLYNN ANDERSON, 66 New Row Square, Dublin 8.
