Summary
The contributor explains that the song was composed by Martin MacMillan, Breakish, for a boy who went out shooting for the first time, and shot a heron. Locals laughed at the boy, but Martin thought he did well for a first attempt, so he wrote this humorous song praising the heron as something very special.
