I am teaching MACBETH to Yr.12 at the moment and have been relishing in
talking about the birds Shakespeare mentions... owl, chough, rook,
raven, magpie (actually written as 'maggot-pie') and a 'martlet' which
is seemingly a mix of martin and swiftlet!!!!!!!!!

'By maggot-pies, and choughs, and rooks brought forth
The secret'st man of blood. What is the night?'     (Act.III, Sc.iv)


Peace and olde English,


Lorne.
