January 2017

Birdsong everywhere now….Imbolc just around the corner…

A blackbird tunes up.
Two rooks heckle from the wings.
Avian envy.

*******************************

The birds are getting started with their 2017 dawn chorus…

All over the woods,
songbirds are practising scales,
trying out Spring riffs.

*******************************

The woods are lovely, dark and deep…

Mid-Winter silence
universally observed
– except by that jay.

*******************************

A gentle start to the new year…

Quiet are the woods,
leaf-litter deadens foot steps.
A puff ball explodes.
