Catching the wind

Riding the storm (Image SC Vincent)

Swifter than their feathered brethren – they

welcome the signs of a changing breeze

it means they’ll be off with their cousins the swallows

for some warm air , seeds and sunshine, whilst

taking occasional naps under leafy sunshades

Some might say they float in the air

when these birds have their wings stretched out

imminent signs of departure – remote

for they’ll need to fill their bellies

to have the energy to fly towards the warm sun

  2. I can’t even imagine how the little the birds eat that could sustain them for even a short flight!

    1. I’ve actually seen it – there’s two resident families of birds in the garden….and they eat till they drop – though they also feed their chicks!

      1. I’m weening my birds off the seed for a few months. It will give the squirrels some time to run around and work off all the seeds they ate out of my feeders.
