It was a misty Cornish day when he arrived
I knew something was wrong but he wouldn’t let me get close.
It was good to see him keeping company with one of my birds.
I hoped he was taking comfort
The next day his body was in the field. He didn’t seem seemed injured – just old.
He just died and I was a witness.

Very touching pictures, Kate. Especially when you think how old some birds get to be. Apparently oystercatchers live up to 50 years.
thank you Gilla. I wonder how old Rooks can be? So many in Lamorna. K x
Wow – 50 years? That would make him one year younger than me. Since everything has to be about ME! I echo the comment about the beautiful photos. Isn’t it amazing what comes to us, what allows us to see them and what a privilege it is sometimes. Of course sometimes it can be an annoyance too…
Fantàstic!
