morning hope everyone had a good weekend, although the snow has all gone now here is a wintery robin shot
the below is a poem my mum wrote about the robin, initially written for a wildlife poetry competition on ‘an unusual look at nature’ and as its about my favourite bird - i wanted to share it
“The Song of Cock Robin
I don’t belong on Christmas cards
I’m not that fond of snow
My habitat the summer haunts
Where all my rivals go.
I’m somewhat territorial
You see my yuletide guise
But far away from holly boughs
I dominate the skies.
You buy my clichéd image
Accustomed to such spin
You smile at festive portraits
Ignore the steel within.
Blue-tits, wrens and blackbirds
They congregate en masse
The truth is, I’m a loner
I watch them as they pass
My colleague, the raucous magpie
Attracts a poorer press
[ I thank my scarlet feathers
I dress but to impress! ]
I star in many stories
My red breast from the Cross
I am the stuff of legends
My triumphs and my loss.
I’ll share a bitter secret:
That sparrow was to blame
The one that shot Cock Robin
Robbed me of half my name.
Deprived me of my image
Reduced to cards and hype
I play my part in public
But then revert to type.
So perch me on a post-box!
[ That red it suits me so ]
My plumage set off nicely
By fairy lights that glow.
A litany of heroes
The Eagle, Heron, Kite
I belong with daring creatures
I claim my own birthright.
Who’s heard of human infants
Christened with such a name?
Yet mine they use so freely
My reputation, tame.
I close my eyes and speculate
The climate’s changing fast
Who knows when your tinsel fantasy
Will belong firmly in the past?
So I can dream and soar above
My annual festive shame
I contemplate a time when men
Will tremble at my name.”

Sony HX200V---The whole covey kept a lunch date at my feeder today. This enterprising cock usually is the first one to fly up on top, where the seeds are most plentiful. They seem to be getting used to seeing me, as they came to feed just a few minutes after I'd scattered some fresh seeds.
It was dark and overcast, with a heavy forest canopy, so I used the Hand-held Twilight Mode, which takes 5 rapid exposures and uses the best parts of each to produce one photo. These shots would not have been possible without this mode.
The camera selected ISO 1000, which is higher than I would use for normal shots, but it was necessary to get the results, especially when using full zoom.

Also, Chevy. Both outside a liquor store on Narragansett Boulevard somewhere near the Providence/Cranston line. An old friend of mine used to yell "Nice cock!" out the window every time we drove by it.
This is the best stuff in the world. I don't know if I'll ever be accquiring a bottle of this size, but it's nice to know it's there when I need it! :)
Lotus rocks! :)
People are often put off by the word "cock," which makes this even more fun!! :)
I am not working today, for once. decided to run some overdue errands
in the strip today.
Kentford, Suffolk
I have a gentil cock
croweth me day
he doth me risen early
my matins for to stay
I have a gentil cock
comen he is of great
his comb is of red coral
his tail is of jet
I have a gentil cock
comen he is of kind
his comb is of red sorrel
his tail is of inde
his legs be of azure
so gentil and so small
his spurs are of silver white
into the wortewale
his eyes are of crystal
locked all in amber
and every night he pertcheth him
in my lady`s chamber

I'm struck by how flickr's new way of counting views, including those that appear in searches, has meant that photographs which no one has ever looked at before are suddenly piling on the stats. Could this be because they are being pulled up in searches for key words that are, under the circumstances, inappropriate, but still obviously very popular with flickr users? Just wondering.
