Grebe on the Medway

Looking glass river

Grebe gazes in the mirror

Autumn reflections

The Greenfinches

Two chisel beaked birds

Set to work, chipping away

Seed husk sawdust flies

Skylark

Countertenor soars

Raising the blue roof higher

With each note he sings

Blue Tit & Woodpecker

Blue tit on the Window Frame

A spider-web catch

Tasty snack for quick blue tit

Fast food takeaway

The Woodpecker

Through the misty dawn

Hollow cough call, tap, tap, tap

As you knock on wood

Geese on the Winter River

Five geese, gloaming lost

Fast river flotilla glides

Shadow shapes in tow

Nuthatch in the Autumn Garden

On filigree branch

Bright cut bands of agate hues

Woodland gem sits still

Through the Open Window

Now the neat chatter
Of Autumn berries and seeds
Birds swap their stories

Alternate:

Now the neat chatter
Of Autumn berries and seeds
As birds check their tweets
