I know that you're all desperate to find out all about the birds you could spot in the Merry Months of April, May and June. So here they are ... complete with their little bits of poetry. WARNING .... the poems are total crap, and the rest of it is feeble. ON THE PLUS SIDE .. it is so bad, it's good. APRIL Birds in full song as in March ; also the yellow bunting ,chaffinch, whitethroat, tree Pipit and greenfinch. Migrants arrive ... house martin, swallow, redstart, whinchat, blackcap, cuckoo, nightingale, wood wren, willow wren, sedge warbler and reed warbler. "For me the posied mantle green glad nature decks the spring; For me amidst the vernal scene, The happy wild birds sing: For my delight each lovely sight The changing season thrills; For me the wild breeze day and night, Harps on the heathery hills." MAY Most birds are in full song in this and next month. Quail, swift, flycatcher and nightjar appear . The nesting of birds reaches its height in May and young birds begin to hatch out of their shells during this month. "Open the doors, open the windows of your soul ! Let in the sun and the wind. Do not forget that any experience in life, So long as it is not sensual, Gives richness and breath to any power you possess. Live then , live to your utmost and your best" JUNE The skylark and most of the other birds are in full song at the early part of the month; towards the end a few will cease their song. Many young birds appear. How sweet are the flowers of the garden and field When earth wears her summer array. How laden the air with the fragrance they yield, How varied the hues they display Well, you're totally clued up now .... and you can put your new knowledge to good use .. ... so long as it is NOT SENSUAL ! BAH ! ( If you feel up to reading the first bit (Jan/Fen/Mar) just nip back two posts . You know you want to. ) ( I'm not sure if the "feel up" thing is appropriate) ..and here's a bit of Sensuality In Action ..... I'm sure you're all looking forward the the July/Aug/Sep and the Oct/Nov/Dec stuff.
