MARSH HARRIER READY TO SWOOP ~ CLASSIC
SUFFOLK UK ~ is the place for BIRDS
The coast ~ SEAGULLS are seen and heard
Warm in the hides ~ if it's cold and wet
You can watch the TERNS and AVOCET
Some birds you see and some you hear
In marshes woods or at Minsmere
Your Birdwatch Book a handy checker
Should you spot NIGHTJAR or GREENWOODPECKER
MARSH HARRIERS are an awesome sight
If you should glimpse one in mid-flight
And in the Spring it's nice to sit
And watch WOODLARKS and BEARDED TIT !
ROBINS of course come pecking round
For crumbs wherever Folk are found
The CURLEW sounds a strident note
Trilling deep down in its throat.
I love Bird Watching now and then
There's dozens more ~ I've mentioned TEN
Our habitats we must preserve
Support Bird Centres ~ help conserve !
Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Yours BRIAN
Please visit and support your local Bird Sanctuaries.

Great place just a few miles from me is Rutland Water in a lovely rural setting - I often go there but to paint - nevertheless I do love birdlife and this is a great poem Brian.
Thanks MICHAEL ~ pleased it rang your Bell. I know Rutland Water ~ very picturesque and very peaceful. Great places for Artists as Constable and other discovered. Thanks for your comment ~ BRIAN
I love the birds, except Bluejays 🙂 Nice tribute.
Thanks HONEY for a lovely comment. I agree BLUEJAYS ares so so colourful. We don't have them in the UK ~ maybe when we get more global warming ! Yours BRIAN
Beautiful poem in rhyming couplets! I love it! I recognized a few but I do enjoy watching birds in the US especially my cardinals! Wonderful write!! Hugs in the spirit--Christina
Thanks you CHRISTINA (love you new NAME ~ elegant !) ~ pleased you liked it. I love CARDINALS too and love to see them in the USA we din't have them (yet) in the UK ~ Yours as ever BRIAN
Great write, I love watching the birds at the feeder outside the window
This time of year after a shower my yard fills up with robins. I have wood duck in the pond and blue heron. It is a real treat when a piliated woodpecker visits. Nice poem to remind us of nature.
