The hooded plovers breeding territory they have fenced around
As the little shorebirds are known to be endangered
In large numbers they are not known to abound
Their project it is one well worth applauding
A part of the foreshore at Killarney Beach they've marked out
With signs to tell of the plovers breeding territory
Their's is a worthwhile project without doubt
The hooded plovers an endangered species
And young people interested on their welfare good to see
Every year their numbers dwindling in Killarney
Quite close to extinction those in the know agree
The thought of it does not even seem pleasant
To think that hooded plovers small birds of the ocean shore
In five or six decades from now may not be seen in Killarney
Extinction as we do know is forever more
The year nine students of Gilson College
As well as their teachers great credit are due
For being fully aware of the plight of the hooded plovers
I only say of them what i do know to be true.
