Ashy dusk descending and the Kestrel crucifies itself against the sky. Head down. Preying.
Evening breezes bend the leaf-stripped birches as a Roe Deer's rear, lamp-bright in the undergrowth, blinks out.
Redwings dive to thorny roosts, thin needle notes pricking the wool of the darkening day.
Night begins to dull the burnished oaks and the last unseen Song Thrush's single "tick" stops the day's run-down clock.
From the night dark a Little Owl yelps just once.
 
Love the 'preying'. I don't know how you are able to continue to come up with such beautiful descriptions of what you see and hear and feel while birding, H.
 
LOL H2, I love that description of the Roe Deer's rump.

I'm with Sue... I just don't know how you manage to come up with such wonderful descriptions lad. Many thanks.

I hope you and your family have a very happy New Year.
 
Oh how did I not see this! I have missed your beautiful posts, H. Wonderfully written.

Have I missed the progress on your book?
