Keen eyed, Fan tailed, Hunts,
Wind tamed above the hedgerows,
Flutters, wings and heart.
I made and wrote this for Debbie today. I even did colouring in like a big boy! (see below). I went for a run earlier on and saw a Kestrel, maintaining its position in the sky, using it’s tail and rapid wing beats to expertly adjust for wind buffeting. I ran right underneath it, it eventually soared off to another field edge, once again scanning the ground for movement and a meal.
I’m quite proud of the drawing, as it actually looks a little bit like a Kestrel and not some sort of plucked mini-vulture after a recent flame throwing incident.
You don’t have to be good at art (or writing!). Sometimes it’s the little things on Valentines day.
