The Dawn Chorus

I decided to write this post in celebration of the amazing dawn chorus

If you are feeling anxious about life’s circumstances and find it difficult to sleep, follow these four steps:

Make a warm drink

Sit in your favourite chair

wrap yourself in a cosy blanket

Open the window wide

Wait for the dawn chorus

Feel your anxiety fade away, while you listen to Nature’s special gift.

Dawn chorus

May is the month to cherish each year,

with the dawn chorus, birds love to share.

From breaking light, they start their trill,

This blissful choir, through the air so still.

The blackbird and robin start their call,

With many followers big and small.

They fill the meadow with tunes, so sweet,

An orchestral performance could not compete…

The Roskhill river flows gently towards the sea, ceaselessly providing us with the tranquil sound of its journey.

The river serenely sings and flows

Passing wildflowers that sway and glow.

Downy willow seeds float in the air,

Then land in the meadow without a care.

The air is warm and the rays are bright,

Flooding the meadow with radiant light.

The land warms up in early spring

When the birds seek mates and start to sing.

Acid-green leaves erupt into view

With fresh spring colours in lemony hues.
