My sister got me a very hefty bird book for my 72nd birthday ..... I could hardly carry it back to the car ... that one down there is the first book ... and I'm the proud possessor of Tom 2. As you might have noticed, it is entirely in Polish. I would be dead chuffed if there was a book called "Polish up your Polish." But sadly, there isn't. But the nifty thing is ... it does give you the Latin names ! So .... Wodnik ...... Rallus aquaticus One of the rules of Polish bird names seems to be that all have a zed or two. They like a k as well..... Slonka ..... Scolopax rusticola They're not big fans of vowels ... Jastrzqb ... Accipiter gentilis. Well, having made you all feel somewhat "out of the loop" of Polish bird literature I'll leave you with an excellent spot of Polish music ... there's at least 1 bird in it !
