1168 – Starlings

As is a bit of a tradition on New Years Day, we went to the amusements, and spent a few pounds on the penny arcades. It’s something we only do once a year, so don’t begrudge it. Feeling a bit peckish we went and got some doughnuts, nice and sugary and just a bit crumbly. As we stood eating them we very quickly garnered an audience. One that was very keen to share our meal.

The crumbs on the ground were quickly squabbled over and eaten, but that wasn’t enough. A couple of the little darlings were making like hover birds at around hand height eagerly eyeing up the food. With one them getting a tad impatient and settled on my hand long enough to grab a morsel.

As you can imagine I was captivated and rapidly creating more crumbs. What a seriously delightful encounter. I know they are hungry, and if I were able I would make it so there would no hunger, but I can’t. But for just a few seconds, I was feeding the birds, and I loved it. Absolutely the highlight of the day.

I just want to write, but I prefer to stay away from controversial topics like politics. I am happy to confess that at the moment, I am writing for me. If you enjoy my writings, and I hope you do then that is all the better.
