Yesterday I was at the computer, and something white caught my eye. Under the hawthorn, at the edge of the wetland, shining in the light of the setting sun was a beautiful little egret. It stayed long enough to probe between the matted reeds, and then it flew off. (image above from here)
Sitting at the studio window (recently, for most of the day, as the computer has been moved), I'm enjoying "nature" ... the little urban birds, foxes! - and even a pair of swans flying overhead. Such a contrast from the brick buildings and their seried windows. My view is a bit of a jumble, so these intrusions are a delight. No chance of egrets ... though years ago I saw a wagtail where there is now a house-in-a-back-garden. And the crow family in their exposed nest - the tree was pollarded that year and chopped down the next, sad to say.
ReplyDeleteStill, even in the city we have odd incursions of nature.
