a nest to be saved
standing firm in defence
spring hovers nearby
We were walking along the coastal pathway at Ricketts Point recently. This blue male Superb Fairy Wren and his brown female partner were aggressively warning all living things to stay away from the nest they had built somewhere in the bushes nearby. For small birds they are very courageous.

These wrens look like they mean business Denis, beautifully captured and it’s lovely to see these signs of Spring 🙂🐦🎶

They are brave little birds and are always among the first to begin building nests.

Exquisite photos… the stance of the birds echoes the defence mentioned in your haiku which also seems to speak of the delicacy of the new season as well…it’s need for bolstering. I’m happy to hear of your signs of spring (as we grip to the last weeks of our summer in the slanting sun).

Thanks Janice, you certainly get inside a haiku as sometimes even the writer discovers messages later. Enjoy your summer while it lasts.
