I find it somewhat comforting when a bird drops in to hang out on our doorstep.   

Birdie perching Surely searching For a bit of grain Birdie chirping Also twerking Courting birds in vain Falling silent In the twilight Nodd...

A noisy bird visited this morning and squawked at us.    

So proud I managed to paint this bird's eyes, which are maybe 0.5 mm each.
