With concentration The heron stares unblinking For some passing fish.

Oh poor baby bird The height you have fallen from Has taken its toll.

Two babies have hatched Crying out for their parents From the sandy trough.

The barn owl looks sad It is little wonder why The straps on its legs.

Egrets homewards bound With envy I watch them fly I wish I can fly.

Six ducks on a flight Heading to where food abounds A will to survive.

Two hornbills fly by Out on a romantic date Love is in the air.

From the seaside rock The heron stretches its neck The fish’s lucky day.

Egret hits bullseye Snatching a fish from the lake Fast like lightning strike.

On its eggs it sits Awaiting the eggs to hatch Wild dogs are a threat.
