Wryneck

Neville

Wryneck

 

Known for looking backward over shoulders preened

Dull jeweled and understated, yet immaculately silver sheened

Always looking backward over shoulders to where it once had been

Sought after by so many, but oh’ so very rarely seen ..

    Beautiful sheen on the bird I have never seen Nev - they can be spotted on southern coasts but I have not been lucky - as you certainly were to see Wrynecks three days running - a bit envious so I be.............x

      they are as rare as unicorn droppings Fay .. as a kid, I never imagined ever seeing one .. There were loads of folk out looking today ... how word gets around eh ............................ x

      never seen one, although
      I doubt I would recognise it
      but, on a somewhat similar note
      they say, fritillary butterflies were spotted
      in Kent this year
      and while all butterfly numbers continue to decline
      its warming to think
      theirs a chance of a tepid re-emergence, of sorts
      personally, I have seen so many this year
      nature's fluttering: comforter's supreme
      (in my humble 'city boi' opinion' lol

        Well If you keep looking over your shoulder for them dicky birds they for some unaccountable reason are twittering on about just above me, and end up with a sore neck, it's no wonder them chiropractors make a lot of dosh, dull jewelled............... don't look at me - you recommended Google....
