Yesterday afternoon Father Benny Flanagan took me on a pleasant trip to
Banagher on his small cruiser. On the way we passed a number of swan
families all with either two or three and not the expected numbers of seven
eight nine or ten. What has happened. Three speedboats with skiers were
along the way and I noticed a cruiser going slowly alongside the bank.
When I heard shots today for the first day of the wild ? duck shooting the
penny clicked and I reckon he was eyeing out where the ducks were lying.
