Short accounts of all the birds that follow which are not described in this chapter are to be found in the previous one. Corvus macrorhynchus. The jungle-crow or Indian corby. Dendrocitta himalayensis. The Himalayan tree-pie. Abundant. Graculus eremita. The red-billed chough. In summer this species is not usually found much below elevations of 11,000 feet above the sea-level. Pyrrhocorax alpinus.
At that you may only too probably arrive unless you repent, and 'get back your souls. We had shot along the cliffs a red-legged chough or two, and one of the real black English rat, exterminated on the mainland by the grey Hanoverian newcomer; and weary with sight-seeing and scrambling, we sat down to meditate on a slab of granite, which hung three hundred feet in air above the western main.
And my wife will be jocund, feat, compt, neat, quaint, dainty, trim, tricked up, brisk, smirk, and smug, even as a pretty little Cornish chough. Who will not believe this, let hell or the gallows be the burden of his Christmas carol.
This point is clearly and manifestly explained and expounded by Artemidorus just as I have related it. Nor will there be any metamorphosis or transmutation made of you into a drum or tabor, but you will surely be as soundly beaten as ever was tabor at a merry wedding. Nor yet will she be changed into a chough, but will steal from you, chiefly in the night, as is the nature of that thievish bird.
No human foot could, by climbing, have reached the spot where the nest of the daw, or Cornish chough, was fixed for the precipice, besides being perpendicular and nearly flat, projected a little near the top, where the nest lay in a crevice overhanging the surf that boiled and raged in Zawn Buzzangein.
As we may see a pigeon or chough high on the verge of a sea-cliff float out into the blue leagues of the air, and drift motionless and light or descend to the sea less by gravity than at will so did she. There was nothing premeditated, there was nothing determined on: mood was immediately translated into ability she was at will lighter or heavier than the air.
French, "Crave." The Chough is a common resident in Guernsey, breeding amongst the high rocks on the south and east part of the Island, and in the autumn and winter spreading over the cultivated parts of the Island, sometimes in considerable flocks, like Rooks.
But Chough wisely confines his remarks to asking questions about the bishops, and agrees with us that Doctor Bim's address on the church extension cause was sound as the Fathers, and finally gives us his own extraction, which we trace to the respectable Choughs of Caroline County, and at once fraternize with him. Those were happy days for us children!
"Not a thief? not a thief? what call you him, then?" "Well, saving your presence, I call him a jackdaw. This is jackdaw's work, if ever there was; 'take the thing you are least in need of, and hide it' that's a jackdaw. I should know," added Jorian oracularly, "for I was brought up along with a chough.
