Spring fields and garden birds


A twister springs up
Swirling wings in a grey sky
Seagulls storm the field


The farmer’s field lake
Grown fat with winter flooding
Now ducks feed for free

Through the window, here!
Robin acknowledges me
For windowsill seeds


Little wren hunts flies
While the blackthorn’s in full bloom
We share the blossom

Winter Wren, Starlings and Garden Birds


Winter Wren

Among winter boughs
Little wren (walnut brown) bobs
Living netsuke


The Starlings Gather

A Starling garland
On power lines overhead
Decorating me!


Tits in the Garden

Count them; count them all
Each little bird a blessing
Blue, Coal, Long-tailed, Great

Falcon, wren and sparrows


Peregrine Falcon

Hawk-eyed, on the fence
Warily watching for food
Bird table sentry

Silent dawn chorus
Falcon glides emptyhanded
No song for supper

Wren

The wren on the fence
A little feather whistle
Blown away by wind

Sparrows

Good day! Good day! Hey!
Dapper in flat cap and tweed
Sparrows chat away
  
Under the rooftiles
A secret stash of treasure
Jack sparrow’s new nest

Wren in the Flowerbed

Deep in leaf litter
Diligent little wren seeks
The green stir of spring
