SPRING WATCH

I have just spent the last two hours, looking up a duck bum
Wasn’t until the duck sprung a dozen kids did it get any fun

The Owl the same asleep on the job because it was the day
Action - I would have had to stayed up all night making hay

The wrens were a lot more chirpier, whilst waiting to be fed
While taking it in turns, to sit on their little sis or bro’s head

The Gold crests are bigger it’s amazing they don’t all fall out
All mouths open - feed me - feed me - feed me - their shout

And the babbling brook, was looking all very nice and serene
The mass fledging’s flight across it makes for a quite a scene

The March **** have got it posh, a hollow tree for their nest
There was so much else to see but I never got to see the rest

Badgers and foxes, vermin to others I hear, now loved by me
We learn a lot from nature, if we watch while letting them be

Here’s to the bloody cameras that give us Spring Watch 24/7
More so too, to the nature lovers, who are now in 7th heaven

Not too sure on the night shifter who comes home to the sun
Flicking on the TV; to a few hours, of looking up a ducks bum
