Birds

Swift does the shallow river flow beneath the trees that upwards grow, Kingfishers sit on a shoreline rock hunting fish in the water below Starlings swarm in a large blue flock at dusk and dawn at six of the clock, A stunning spectacle that's a must to see while sitting on a boat in the dock Gulls and Terns bob about on the sea before they depart like an irate banshee, they swoop and dive in an aerial tableau a sight to be seen and a thing of beauty Sandpiper, Whimbrel and Plover are seen from high water to surf and points in between.

Very descriptive, Peter. I like the rhyme and meter. Just my opinion, but I think the form for this poem is a sonnet rather than a Rubaiyat. Love it!
