August Birds

Barnstaple

Brent Geese fly; as stark
As the roundabout stones stand
Against the blue sky

 

Magpie

Striped youth, still callow
Finding berries flutters high
Into sapling tree

 

Little Egret

On Bridgewater road
Origami bird flies past
Legs folded, wings shaped

Wren, Starlings and Magpie

Wren

I hear you singing
Through the window, you reach me
With a bright Spring song 

Starlings

Two shiny green birds
Ornaments on bare branches
Winter-jewelled tree

Over flooded fields
The flock ripples out. Black boats
Fish on the dawn tide

Magpie

Wings in, arrow flight
Look at you, surfing sunlight!
Soon beached on tree branch  

March 2020

Six for gold: get in!

But, turns out, there’s no magic
Magpie cash machine

Open air concert

Drum roll for a dawn chorus

Woodpecker warms up

#haiku #birds #nature

Magpie in the woods

High tide, sea of blue

Magpie skims his feathers through
Dappled bluebell lakes
