Saturday 23rd July (Bird Songs)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window to see some blue sky and the first signs of the sun. Now the rising sun has not been on view recently in the gloomy English summer. So Mr. Kite took advantage of this  brighter morning and walked to the recycling.

As usual the Swifts were flying but Mr. Kite could hear the calls of a Wood Pigeon, Collared Dove and Feral Pigeon. So as Mr. Kite walked along he tried to describe in words the differences between the three calls.

Although Mr. Kite could tell the difference between the Wood Pigeon and the Collared Dove they made the same sort of coo-coo-coo but the Wood Pigeon seemed to have a softer tone compared with the harsher louder Collared Dove. Sitting on The Christadelphian Church two Feral Pigeons called to each other. This pairs call was only two syllables and was a courser and harsher version of the the pigeons soft coo; more a 'cur cur'.

So Mr. Kite thought about bird sounds and how little people think about them. On this pleasant day Mr. Kite listened to birds and had a tipple of Becks. Cheers.
