Northumberland National Park Today my mind is in the Northumberland National Park. This is to the north, on the border with Scotland. You can see there, moorlands, peat bogs, haymeadows and ancient forests. I would like to walk through one of them. Also, this is a great place to see birds, for example, red and black grouses. In Spain, there are only one species of grouse in Picos de Europa National Park and they are in a limited number and protected because there are a small number of them. I wish I could see one of them. In this English National Park, you can see many types of birds. I am fun to find out his name in English and the correspondence in Spanish. There we can see lapwings (avefría), snipes (agachadiza), redshanks (archibebe), oystercatchers (astrero), golden plovers (chorlitejo dorado) and the emblem of this National Park, the Curlews (Zarapito real). I think the "avefría" has this name because in Spain this bird returns in the cold season. "Agachadiza" is related to the verb "agachar". The reason is this bird is constantly bending down to find food among the stones. "Archibebe" is a curious name because the prefix "archi" means "muy", so this is a bird that drinking very much(archi-bebe= muy bebedor). All this kind of birds needs to find their food among the stones into the rivers. The "chorlito dorado" remember me a Spanish sentence " Cabeza de chorlito". Having a "cabeza de chorlito" it's the same that you are a forgetful person. Really I don't think this bird is a forgetful bird but actually, it ever looking for among the stones, all the time. At the end, the "zarapito". I don't know why this name but is a great word to practice some Spanish sounds (Z,R,P and T) ;-)
