A blackbird sits in a gorse bush accompanied by the words of the Early Irish Poem, “The Blackbird of Belfast Lough” drawn in a modern Irish font.

fo-ceird faíd ós Loch Laíg lon do chraíb charnbuidi
Which translates to:
the little bird that whistled shrill from the nib of its yellow bill
a note let go o’er Belfast Lough— a blackbird from a yellow whin
(Translated by Ciaran Carson)
