I asked > Iratiko basoilarra - what might be the english name of this bird have? Larry replied Well, birds are hardly my strong suit. But my dictionary tells me that "basoilar" means "capercaillie", a kind of grouse. "Irati" is the name of a forest in the east of the country, so the title means "The Capercaillie of Irati". I have just remembered I have the Biological dictionary of euskara which has the entry Tetrao urogallus eus basoilar sp urogallo fren grand te'tras eng capercaillie Can anyone give a more common english name for this bird? thanks Jon -------------------------------------------------------------- The meaning of your communication is the response you get.
