  3. CURLEW - NUMENIUS ARQUATA

    CURLEW - NUMENIUS ARQUATA

    This week Garrett is imagining to look at a well talked about bird called a CURLEW. Its name in the Irish Language is ‘Crotach' which means humped or hump-backed.  Their large, long bill is soft and flexible. The Latin name is ‘NUMENIUS ARQUATA’. Sadly this bird is being hugely recognised as a highly endangered bird and is a RED listed bird in Ireland. It is estimated that there is only 100 - 138 breeding pairs in Ireland.  It is one of our most beautiful waders with a fabulous, distinctive, yearning call. Garrett says when he hears the Curlew call, it gives him a great sense of belonging and relates it similarly to when he hears the sound of the Uilleann Pipes. Curlews can live up to 20 - 30 years old. HIDE FM is a Per Cent for Art commission by Fingal County Council. Please FOLLOW / SUBSCRIBE! Send all of your questions to info@garrettphelan.com

  4. GOLDEN PLOVER - PLUVIALIS APRICARIA

    JUN 6

    GOLDEN PLOVER - PLUVIALIS APRICARIA

    This week Garrett is imagining to look at a bird called a GOLDEN PLOVER. Its name in the Irish Language is ‘Feadóg bhuí’. The Latin name is ‘Pluvialis Apricaria’. Sadly this bird is a RED listed bird in Ireland. Some interesting trivia here.  Garrett relays the Origin of Guinness World Records where on 10 November 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of the Guinness Breweries, went on a shooting party in the North Slob, by the River Slaney in County Wexford, Ireland. After missing a shot at a Eurasian golden plover, he became involved in an argument over which was the fastest game bird in Europe, the golden plover or the red grouse (the former being correct). That evening at Castlebridge House, he realised that it was impossible to confirm in reference books whether or not the golden plover was Europe's fastest game bird. Beaver knew that there must be numerous other questions debated nightly in pubs throughout Ireland, but there was no book in the world with which to settle arguments about records. He realised then that a book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove popular. A Guinness employee told Sir Hugh of two twin brothers, Norris and Ross McWhirter, who had opened a fact checking agency in London. Sir Hugh interviewed the brothers and, impressed by their prodigious knowledge, commissioned the book. Later, he published the first Guinness World Records which became a best seller within months.

    LITTLE GREBE - TACHYBAPTUS RUFICOLLIS

    This week Garrett is imagining to look at a bird called a LITTLE GREBE. It’s name in the Irish Language is ‘Spágaire tonn’. The Latin name is ‘Tachybaptus ruficollis’. Happy to say it is a GREEN listed bird in Ireland. It swims like a duck, it looks like a duck, but it's not a duck! It is a small bird and the smallest of the GREBE family. AKA 'Dabchick'. It has a bonkers but lovely distinctive shrill type call. A brilliant little diver. Due to its Hydrodynamic missile like shape underwater, it finds it hard to walk on land.
