Strange Phenomena - Kate Bush

 Always a joy to just sit there and watch the day break with that first mug of Douwe Egberts Indulgence Coffee, but totally blown away when before your very eyes appear a couple of juvenile

GREEN WOODPECKERs
but not considered to be those of previous days
as somewhat less mature?
It would be sacrilege to describe any day as 'DULL' as there is always 'something' in each and every one for us all however it took some finding.
Nothing of note or Blog-worthy in the home Moth Trap and not an Insect to be found from the 3 on the Heath as the generator had decided to wrap its hand in and have a night off!
Across a 4 hours vigil no more than c2 transiting
MUTE SWANs
a lone
MISTLE THUSH
on the Solar Panels and what at first sight looked like a
STOCK DOVE
with a broken wing until we tried to catch it taking to the band
The 5th Dimension and was Up, Up and Away.

The 'chirrupings' that disturbed my afternoon snoo er Studies were certainly thos of  Hirundines and on investigation found to be both Swallow and House Martin in numbers but as Kate might put it a Strange Phenomena!

Soon it will be the phase of the moon when people tune in.
Every girl knows about the punctual blues,
but who's to know the power behind our moves?

Having never seen anything quite like it in my life these Hirundines
HOUSE MARTIN
and
SWALLOW
were hunting not only the outer branches of the tree above

A day of coincidence with the radio and a word that won't go away. 

We know what they're all gonna say

"G arrives, funny, had a feeling he was on his way"!

but also delving into the heart of the tree
pecking away at both
leaf and branch
We raise our hats to the 'Strange Phenomena',
soul-birds of a feather flock together!
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us
sure 'nuff, he has the answer,
seemingly catching small Insects?
Only ever seen 'hawking' across open sky
and we did consult a few
FRIENDS
who readily agreed they had never see or heard of anything quite like it!!
He has the answer, He has the answer

Om mani padme, Om mani padme, Om mani padme hum

There are such creatures as
TREE SWALLOWs
across the America's but even then we have never seen them acting in such a way??

"Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ" is the six-syllabled Sanskrit mantra particularly associated with the four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion.

If you are not familiar with the album 'The Kick Inside' by the delightfully tallented Kate Bush, it is strongly recomended as likely the most sensual and 'true to life' romantic you are likely ever to hear!
