A Kingfisher on a crooked bough eyes the river down below

resplendent

iridescent mirrored crystal flow


This orange-bellied beauty neon feathered aqua-marine

be it still

in flight

optical delight along Welsh waters seen


Majestic Glas y Dorlan in Cymru this creature's name

captured hearts

its arrowing darts

orange-hued breast aflame


Eyes fixed on the water watching fish that are at play

hungry for dinner

there's only one winner

when a Kingfisher spots its prey


Plummeting from it's vantage point entering waters cold

colours alive

a perfect dive

worthy of medal gold


Retreating from the aqua and in its bill a catch

the Kingfisher's dish

the poor fish

for this expert is no match


To witness a Kingfisher with its colours bright and bold

such a sight to see

waters running free

a beauty to behold


To see a Kingfisher in full flight you need to be aware

they fly so fast

as they're darting past

but believe me they are there


So next time you're out walking

near water take a look

keep your eyes fixed

riverbank water twixt

a stream or babbling brook.
