Spring Birds in Somerset


April evening at Bishop’s Palace, Wells

Pen and her cygnets
Evening light on calm water
Following her home

Three cygnets softly
Surf the moat; silver-rippled
By willow weeping

Early May Bank Holiday

A pair of swallows
Perched on the telephone line
Calling they’ve arrived

 

A crow overhead
Ruffles of black silk flying
In the warm Spring breeze

Pembrokeshire Birds, September 2023

Kingfisher

Perched on a bare bough
Cloth of gold and blue; bright flag
Above the river

 

Little Egrets and Canada Geese

We are gathering
Where the river and fields wend
A way to feed us

Two waiters in white
Among the gaggle of guests
Riverbank dining

 

Red Kites

Red wings, white tails, wind
Almost gone, now returned here
To hunt the blue hills

 

Robin near St Davids Cathedral

Cheese sarnie and tea
Spare a crumb! Table hopping
And hoping for alms

 


Crow

Sizing me up, you
Decide my cake is crow food
Beachside corvid hops

 

Sparrows

A handful of crumbs
For a handful of small birds
Happiness is here

Crow Tree Picnic

 




In a circle, eyes
Watching our every mouthful
Crows, crumbs, closer, caw…

 


Hoodwinked and wary
The Family gathers
Extorting their dues



Crows, The Nothe, Weymouth

Crow at the supermarket


Squashed carpark cupcake
Now, dodging cars, Crow parties
Celebration sponge!


Hands in pockets all
Casual like; ‘Ere,’ he caws
‘Got any crumbs then?’

Crow

Crow on the chainlink
A bright balance of feathers
Catching the free breeze
