Sitting on our balcony
In our hotel room,
Looking out to the glorious sea
We had a visitor,
A sparrow landed in front of us,
On the rail.
It looked at us,
As if to say,
“Well feed me then!”
So I put some biscuit crumbs out,
And there is sat eating.
And then others came
And a feast was had.
We had another guest as well,
Getting ready in our room
The balcony door open
A pied wagtail came in,
Picked up a dropped piece of popcorn,
Bowed to us as a thank you
And then wagged its way out.
I was such a pleasure for us
To be so near to Nature,
To Nature’s glory.

Nice writing )) birds are beautiful I love seeing them and listening to their sound .. sparrows are lovely little birds .. often see them in the garden , they make me smile
Yes, we have a hedgehog visits some evenings just before dusk.
They don't outstay their welcome - unlike me, and my plea of 'Just one more song for ya!' lol.
Sparrows are regular nest makers in the garden - one of my favourite birds and so often taken for granted. nice write Andy.
I hope those crumbs were organic, with a natural sweetener that wouldn't harm their delicate digestive system.
Dear Andy,
I’d welcome your guests anytime. As a matter of fact, they are frequent visitors at this time in my aunt’s garden.
Thank you for sharing.

Biscuits in your hotel room? Those birds were very lucky 🤗
i would assume you made them as happy as they did you- food does that 🙂
but truly a beautiful work love
