"I dwell in a lonely house I know
That vanished many a summer ago,
And left no trace but the cellar walls,
And a cellar in which the daylight falls
And the purple-stemmed wild raspberries grow.
O'er ruined fences the grape-vines shield
The woods come back to the mowing field;
The orchard tree has grown one copse
Of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
The footpath down to the well is healed.
I dwell with a strangely aching heart
In that vanished abode there far apart
On that disused and forgotten road
That has no dust-bath now for the toad.
Night comes; the black bats tumble and dart;
The whippoorwill is coming to shout
And hush and cluck and flutter about:
I hear him begin far enough away
Full many a time to say his say
Before he arrives to say it out.
It is under the small, dim, summer star.
I know not who these mute folk are
Who share the unlit place with me—
Those stones out under the low-limbed tree
Doubtless bear names that the mosses mar.
They are tireless folk, but slow and sad—
Though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad,—
With none among them that ever sings,
And yet, in view of how many things,
As sweet companions as might be had."
- Robert Frost, "Ghost House"

Le Bruant jaune est un passereau vivement coloré. Le mâle en plumage nuptial arbore un plumage jaune et châtain roux du plus bel effet. Cette espèce est connue pour son chant décrit localement par plusieurs mots qui ne font que rappeler le rythme et ne sont qu'une pâle imitation du véritable son émis par l'oiseau.
Le Bruant jaune est largement répandu à travers la majeure partie de l'Europe, avec quelques populations partiellement migratrices ou dispersives après la reproduction. Il fréquente les zones cultivées et les pâturages boisés, les lisières des forêts et les landes de bruyères.
Le Bruant jaune est menacé par la destruction de l'habitat et sa population semble décliner, mais actuellement, l'espèce n'est pas globalement menacée.

The Yellowhammer is a brightly colored passerine bird. The male in nuptial plumage sports a yellow and reddish plumage of the most beautiful effect. This species is known for its song described locally by several words which only remind the rhythm and are only a pale imitation of the real sound emitted by the bird.
The Yellowhammer is widely distributed across most of Europe, with some populations partially migratory or dispersive after breeding. It frequents cultivated areas and wooded pastures, forest edges and heather moors.
The Yellow Sparrow is threatened by habitat destruction and its population appears to be declining, but currently the species is not globally threatened.

PS: A big thank you to all those who choose to look at, comment on and like my photos. It is very appreciated, as you have noticed, I no longer respond directly to your comment just to say in fact "thank you and have a good day", but in return I will leave a small trace with you on one or more of your editions.
This build was hectic and a lot of detailed work but also fun to see it grow.
Always enjoy working with you Kylie!
Hope you all will enjoy the fresh sea winds at The Trace!
Nothing is forever.... (not an old industrial building, and not a pandemic!)
