My camera this morning
steady shaking cold fingers
black & white some colour
backyard bird pied currawong
behaving like ah itself
also black & white
jumps on the fence
for a few shots I say hello
he glares with one yellow eye
hops about checks the netting
on the fruit tree makes a note
looks more kindly at me
he carols a little once
very loudly a little close
before he swoops on past
I review my excited shots
and discarding most of the bird
keep the headless ones & the heart
(my cousin Charlie
the real bird photographer
makes it look easy)
