- A European bird, the wagtail. The country-people say that the "tinner," that is the "dishwasher" or water-wagtail, is scarcer than it was before the blizzard, which must have caused the death of tens of thousands of birds. They call it the tinner, because it builds its nest in the mouth of the old mine-shafts.
- A bird, the restless flycatcher (Myiagra inquieta).
