The dverse prompt is birdsong in a haibun. If you’d like to join in, this is the link.
The songs are short in the winter months, though the thrush thrills without a pause and the crisp air is loud with calls of crows and magpies, the chatter and clatter of woodpeckers and jays. But as the year turns the birds tune in. Great tits and warblers, chaffinches and robins, and though the mornings are for the thrush, the evenings swell with blackbirds’ song. Now that spring is full and sweet, the chorus is complete, loud and rippling, floods of notes, the nights are rocked with the cradle music of nightingales, mornings by the woodwind wake-up tones of orioles. And flickering to their own unmusical twitterings, swallows bank and weave in the first sun.
Wind in the leaves
water rippling over stones
magic in bird throats.
An orchestra going on throughout the day, complete with pauses.
Birds are incredible.
They are!
The best magic. (K)
Lovely to wake up to and follow through the day as it changes.
Every day.
How incredible!
It’s a privilege to be surrounded by it.
Magical.
It is at this time of year.

Its so wonderful, when early in the morning the birds begin to sing. xx Michael
It is! As long as it’s not lashing with rain, we sleep with the window open and the sound of the dawn chorus is glorious.
