A flock of 24 black tailed godwit pass west, whitethroat jerk into the air, sedge warblers fight for space and then, near the western Chowder bench, 3 wheatear, all together on a rock the size of my head, oh joy. I sit and take them in, a male and 2 females. They are alert, pulsing with nervous energy. Two little ringed plover pass by, the skylark sings. I sing |
