Monday
A well-named wagtail, windowsill visiting,
Was a glimpse of grey, then gone.
God bless him.
Tuesday
Started with trilling
From a twitchy chaffinch
Who lingered longer
Hedgerow hopping.
Wednesday
Went wild with starlings
Screaming evenings full,
A fearless family.
Gossips, but good-natured
Thursday
Hosted some magpies
And a jackdaw judged
The clatter and clamour
Before leaving early.
Friday
Came with seagulls attached
Hauling the rainclouds
Shrieking as they scratched
Silence from the slates.
The weekend was for wrens
And they sang, and they sang.
