A ROBIN flies up from the bank to sit on a mossy bough overhanging the stream. Apart from that there's not much birdlife in the wood this afternoon.
A farmer ploughs a dark furrow across the stubble of an adjoining field. Starlings chatter on the power lines by the canal bridge. The cacophony is like a busy switchboard with fifty conversations in progress. Their animated chatter is interspersed with wistful whistles. A small fish rises to nibble a fly caught struggling on the surface of the canal.
