Internet launch day coincides with Good Friday. I'm wondering whether to walk to the top of Rivington Pike, Great Hill etc and read a few poems....
Managed a walk in the park at lunch time. Spotted a treecreeper, nuthatch, long tailed tits and lots of other garden birds. Wonderful to hear the nuthatch whistling well - so melodic. Woods seems empty without them.
Nuthatch
for Wez
sleek whistler of the woods,
a whole slice of cool!
flexing his spine, concave and convex,
master of the bough,
simply upping it,
then upside-downing it,
head-firsting his descent,
the one and only –
adroit acrobat,
poised on the side of a trunk,
whooping it up
in elegant grey and stylish buff,
the showman of the wood!
