Speaking of Cornwall...
Poem 190 of 230: BIRDWATCHERS' BUDE - WINTER 2001/2
Behind the Tourist Centre,
Between canal and river,
On the marshy drained flood-plane
(Not now visited by train),
In among willow and reed,
Eking out some winter feed:
Treecreepers, bobbing robins,
Chirpy blue-tits, grey-herons,
The screams of water-rail,
And snipe sharp on their trail.
Plus, out along limestone down,
Soaring seabirds can be found.
