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
Not seen this little fellow in my neck of the woods. But a handsome fellow he is. Well penned N. 👍
Just got back from having another look .. but no joy .. word seems to have somehow got out and there were hundreds of twitchers all around ............ cheers AP .. 🙂
twitchers? 🤔 Got me there N.
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
cheers L.B ... I shall keep my eyes peeled ....... must confess, I got a slight warm satisfaction kinda glow come over me when I posted this un here today ... 🙂
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....
it has a lot to answer for DD .. but then, apparently so does yours truly ....................................... N
A fine write and sight to behold N.
thank you Mr. O .. I must admit, I was quite chuffed with myself ... N 🙂
