Up down and around, such a busy little thing
Sharp as a tack, tan as dirt
Sing me a song, little one
Blend and forage, get to work!
As you flitter and dance about
Up with the dawn, down with the sun
Fly through the glow, Warbler, let me see some
You swiftly catch insects with a proud chirp
Then puff up, take flight, and carry them home
As it gets dark, travel the reeds to your cone
And I will leave you to your feathered family
I was away with my gift you gave me - I'm smiling

Thank-you for the gift you gave me, I too am smiling. I love warblers, such pretty little birds and fascinating to watch. Thank-you for the delightful entry which I shall be showing to Necip in the morning.
Oh and congratulations on the silver!

interesting approach to this piece.
Way to go on this one. I could just feel the air of lazy passion as you spent the day watching and admiring ...
Great work!
Best wishes in the contest.
