Subject: RE: need info about 'Wrenning'
Hi all

Thanks for the info - even more from others would be greatly Appreciated. Esp. what the decoration that the boys carry with them tends to look like.

I'd never heard of the capturing of the wren and carrying it in a cage - is that done very often?

Also, looking at a map of Ireland, Carrick-on-Suir is in the extreme South-Eastern corner of Co. Tipperary, which to me appears to be in Central-Southern Ireland. I guess it really doesn't matter that much - just that I have heard - South-West all the time and I was imagining Kerry & Cork.

Thanks

Pax
