Wildlife photography
Quite often in the day
We’ll spot a bird of prey
Take a pic in the sky?
It’d be far too high
When nearer in a tree It’s easier to see Yet there is little doubt When I get camera out It will not still be there But way up in the air
It perched on a lamp post Silhouetted – a ghost Then landed in a field I did my camera wield Thus it took to its wing What an annoying thing!
Fin’lly in close tree stayed Perseverance repaid At last a picture took And allowed a good look
