Wanderer, wonderer. Happy to be a little bit lost in forest and the wild places from time to time.

@missbarton @FallingTreeProd Love Love Love
Thank you.

For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.
~ William Blake ~

One's perception of "Reality" is altered the closer we look.

[Gearoid @GerardHodge]

Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

@SoundsIrish I love the sound of a woodpecker working away in the woods, it's exciting to hear.
Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, it's infectious.

@WriterHannahBT Thank you, I have done and will do again, and again and encourage others to do so too.

[Gearoid @GerardHodge]

@RobGMacfarlane I love this song.

[Gearoid @GerardHodge]

@WriterHannahBT Goldfinches, a charm.
My local blackbird has started to sing too, tentatively, half hidden, but ready to announce himself to the world 🥰

[Gearoid @GerardHodge]

@SoundsIrish Wow!
I'd love to sample that.

[Gearoid @GerardHodge]

@SoundsIrish @RTEOne @Tommedian That was lovely, I'm looking forward to the upcoming documentary.

My local Robin
Erithacus rubecula.

@CuriousDukes @JosieLong @ShortCutsPod Channelling my inner camel cricket. Brilliant!

[Gearoid @GerardHodge]

@WriterHannahBT I'm currently chatting quietly to a young robin who has started to visit my bird feeders and tempting it to stay with mealworm. The magpie has noticed this and cackles when it sees us chatting.

@JanetteHall @Natures_Voice @Britnatureguide @BBCSpringwatch the world offers itself to your imagination,calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -over and over announcing your placein the family of things

[Gearoid @GerardHodge]

@JanetteHall @Natures_Voice @Britnatureguide @BBCSpringwatch goes on.Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rainare moving across the landscapes,over the prairies and the deep trees,the mountains and the rivers.Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,are heading home again.Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

@JudyotheGlen I've recently read that the collective noun for parrots is a Pandemonium. Which I also like.

[Gearoid @GerardHodge]

This morning as I went out to feed my local robin I was greeted by three Ring-Necked Parakeets who are part of a much larger local flock? What is the collective term? I'm going with "Carnival", until I hear otherwise.
