Some Deciphering Advice Please

I have an image of a birth record that is very hard to read…. Are there any budding code breakers / image specialists who may be able to help if I email it to you ?

Been zooming in and out on that image to try and work out what the wording is on the left but nothing brings it up clear enough to actually read what it says. Tried the brightness, contrast etc

Hope someone else offers to take a look

Will take another look
