That Chrisp Ack'em showed us his " Garden Birds to Spot" in a recent publication ... and here's some of them ..... ..all fairly reasonable so far ... but rather predictable and, dare I say it, boring, so far ... ..... he's still playing pretty safe .... .... and , of course, the Cheery Chaffinch ... So .. having seen those ... what do you think, using your skill and judgement ,might be coming up next ? If it helps, there's three more to come .. The answers will appear after the music ... and here it is .. Vetusta Morla .. " Los dias raros" .... yes, I know "dias" looks feminine, but it's one of those very rare "nouns ending in -a" that are masculine .... ¡Ábrelo!, ábrelo despacio Di qué ves; dime qué ves, si hay algo Un manantial breve y fugaz entre las manos Toca afinar, definir el trazo Sintonizar, reagrupar pedazos A mi colección de medallas y de arañazos Ya está aquí Quien lo vio bailar como un lazo en un ventilador Quién iba a decir Que sin carbón, no hay reyes magos Aún quedan vicios por perfeccionar en los días raros Nos destaparemos en la intimidad con la punta del zapato Ya está aquí Quien lo vio bailar como un lazo en un ventilador Quién iba a decir Que sin borrón, no hay trato El futuro Se vistió con el traje nuevo del emperador Quién iba a decir Que sin carbón, no hay reyes magos Nos quedan muchos más Regalos por abrir Monedas que al girar Descubran un perfil Que empieza en celofán Y acaba en eco Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Right then.... you've picked your " next three" I hope ... and here's "his" ... the second one is..... a bit further down ... Personally, I think they're pushing the boat out a bit there .... there's plenty of other more "relevant" and "likely" for the audience they are dealing with....Collared Dove, Greenfinch, Dunnock, House Martin, Starling ....... I'm sure you can add many more.
I'm just saying !
