Me too. Judging by the nest one of the larger birds. What a lovely ball of fluff and those peek a boo eyes. So what bird?

I think it has to be a Sprawk with that beak, (and Alan's predilections for them). |

I think it has to be a Sprawk with that beak, (and Alan's predilections for them). Yes it is a young Sparrowhawk chick, I am really meant to be studying little owls at the moment and very probably for the foreseeable future too but I could not resist this recent opportunity. And so another poem that I penned long ago in a moment of inspiration, at least I like to think so!  My woodland home
Aerial ballet in the sky judgment day soars up on high for I am the Hawk alone and free the forests are our home where the soul will be; for this is my
anthem for this is my song the sacred place where we belong. Accipiter 15/6/ 1957 |

So when are you going to publish your poems - from the heart?

So when are you going to publish your poems - from the heart? I have not written enough poems yet to fill a book Helen; anyway I do not consider my little efforts can in anyway compete with the great poets of the world. The poems I mostly write centre on the natural world and just like whole music scores happen whilst asleep in the form of a dream. Nevertheless the one’s I have written are protected by copyright just in case I do decide to have them published. But you must have read my mind because one of today’s choices in the music section is indeed a poem that just happens to be a favorite of mine but unfortunately it was not written by me. Alan |
