Planning

photo of a loft of pigeons retired to a parapet wall as the sun sets

On a parapet,
plotting world domination—
a loft of pigeons.

Lost

Tap tapping away,
native bird seeks lost shelter,
in a human world.

Friends

photo of an empty railway station platform with bushes and trees around

From birth towards death
our journey is ours alone
there will be magpies

I see you

a pair of purple swamphens, one looking directly at the camera, Canberra
Purple swamphens by the Lake Ginninderra, Canberra

Moving gingerly,
as predator towards prey,
worm eater locks eyes.

Birdwatching

Magpie on a tree looking up at the partly cloudy sunny sky on a summer afternoon, Canberra

Open-throated call,
looking up to the heavens;
showing off, magpie.
