Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings and Annual Report of the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club, Vol. 8: For the Year Ending 31st March, 1942 (Sixty-First Year); Part Vi, 1923-1924 The zoologists were not so fortunate, as owing to a recent spell of dry weather, the drains had practically dried up, thus preventing any work being done in the freshwater fauna. They were, however, rewarded by being able to observe an abundance of bird life, which included snipe, wild duck, teal, reed-bunting, stonechat, Ste. A snipe's nest was found containing four eggs, and the nest of a sandpiper with empty shells only. A young lapwing, as yet unable to fly, was seen strutting about on the edge of the lake with apparent unconcern, while a quiet plop in the water told of the presence of the little grebe or dab-chick, its nest being afterwards found.
