Bullfinches, bound for hawthorn berries,
Bounce from bush to bush; blush and bulging.
The Green Woodpecker on the larch top,
Bending the arched apex in its balance,
Red capped, spear-headed, spying,
Calling across the shallow valley to others unseen.

A sudden shift: a Kestrel launches into the breeze,
Alarming Redwings and Redpolls to swirl with the leaf.

Two Buzzards lift and, putting a wing to the wind,
Tilt and rise, turning along the wood’s edge, catch the air
And are gone.

Under the hazel a bunched Hare unbends its long legs,
And, fully formed, gallops from the copse,
Jinks left once, and, heels flicking, outflanks the eye.

What lovely prose to describe your day, love it lad; thanks.
 
Wonderful alliterative beginning! I am so pleased you are posting more of your work.

Thank you, H.
