Familiar sounds
echo around
you made it back
chitter and chat
from where you roam
you made it home
excited twitter
how far you've flown
to breathe new life
into my home.
Trust you've shown
in me alone
how about that
chitter and chat
summers here
you have no fear
excited twitter
another year
to share with me
I'll hold it dear.
Snow was still lying in sun starved folds of far off velvet mountains.Peat coloured waters of unknown depths with dark mirrored surfaces lay over the huge expanse of moorland. A lone Moorhen bobbed it's way across the corner of one small pool.
Plaintive cries of Curlew carried on the wind,the birds themselves hidden within the depths of the spongy grasses.
Pleasingly abundantly rising Skylarks,their serenading songs whipped away from them in the strong wind dived for cover as the silent barred shape of the Hen Harrier passed by.
A colourful long winged giant flew overhead with apparent ease.Vivid red flashes from a twist of it's fork like tail giving away it's identity as a wonderful Red Kite!
Heavy,glossy,purple black cronking Ravens were a delight to see as they flew powerfully away from sight.
Soaring Buzzards and hovering Kestrels also took their turns in the sky as we observed the unfolding daily dramas of the majestic moorland.
