“I
meant to do my work today
But a black bird sang in the apple-tree,
And
a butterfly flitted across the field
And all the leaves were calling me.
And
the wind went sighing over the land
Tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining
hand –
So what could I do but laugh
and go?”
Richard
Le Gallienne
Blackbirds are so beautiful and their
song fills us with joy amidst all the depression which comes with witnessing
and fighting against injustices in the world again and again. We have to ‘sing’
and find respite wherever we can in order to keep standing up to the
bullies.

Springwatch is showing us amazing scenes of Nature
and the Conservation work being done by dedicated people all across the
country. Young people are being given a
voice and becoming role models for the changes which we want to see worldwide. Butterflies,
bees, wildflowers and birds are glorious along the Sanctuary route so take a
walk; stand and stare awhile. Bat pups
will be born this month and when three weeks old may be found on the ground
when they start learning to fly! Bats
are important indicators of Biodiversity as they are sensitive to landscape
changes and usage. Bat Conservation Site for more
