Corra-ghritheach / Heron

[eideard]

Nuair a bha mi a' coiseachd ri taobh na h-aibhne, sa' mhadainn an-diugh, chunnaic mi corra-ghritheach. 'Se eun mòr a th'ann an corra-ghritheach; tha e na seasamh anns a' bhùrn eu-domhainn agus tha e a' glacadh losgannan agus doirbeagan.

When I was walking beside the river, this morning, I saw a heron. A heron is a big bird; it stands in the shallow water and it catches frogs and minnows.

[GunChleoc]

Chunnaic mi tè cuideachd nuair a bha mi ann an Inbhir Nis an uiridh.
I saw one too when I was in Inverness last year.

[*Alasdair*]

Chunnaic mi tè cuideachd an-dè anns an sruthan.
I saw one yesterday in the burn.

Tha mi gan faicinn aig tàigh-dùthchail mo pharantan air uairidh, 'san tuath dà uair bho Thoronto. Cha robh fhios agam gu robh iad san Alba cuideachd.

See them at parents cottage. Didn't know they were in Scotland too.

ann an Alba - Scotland has no article

[Seonaidh]

Scotland has no article... uill tha sin ceart (but it does in Welsh - Yr Alban), ach carson "Pàrlamaid NA H-Alba" (Parliament of THE Scotland)?

Tha mi duilich - nowt about herons here. Uill, bidh mi gan faicinn air am Forth gu tric, faisg air Burntisland (?An t-Eilean Losg) is Aberdour (Aberdŵr).
