Firecrest, flying fast,
Calling brightly as
It passes o'erhead,
Just below branches full
Of squeakily flitting
Long-tailed Tits.

September Third Nature Observations

Red Kite slides down wind against a blue sky,
on the Lilac tree flutters a Clouded Yellow butterfly,
and along the edges of the garden a rat scuttles by.

'gainst scudding grey clouds
Six circling Red Kites
Are swooping and soaring.
'gainst foliage of vibrant hues
Three watchful Carrion Crows
Are carking and cawing.
