Bratte bakka og grøne lier

When the temperature drops Cold fingers, feet and itchy scarves King winter scattered snow over the country Decorated, as the beauty it created Ice cold sea crashes against the coast See how the birds are struggling in the wind Birds die of lack of food every winter Blue Tit, Yellowhammer, House Sparrow, Robin and Brambling Cold, strong wind and snowy branches Each calorie counts, to survive is a matter of finding food No stockings or warm shoes Do not worry, my little friends On my birdboard there is food for everyone 13.12.2017 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved
