As the first fluttering wings appear overhead, a sense of wonder washes over you. Silhouetted against the fading light, these travellers paint a mesmerising tableau, their graceful flight weaving intricate patterns in the sky like an Escher print. Each species brings its own unique charm – from the elegant swoop of swallows to the majestic glide of kites.
But it’s not just the visual spectacle that enchants. It’s also the eruption of chirps, trills and calls that truly transports one to another realm that becomes heavy with the lightness of air. Everything becomes alive with the melodic chaos of birdsong.
As the last of the stragglers find their nests, a profound sense of peace settles over the landscape. In this fleeting moment, as day gives way to night, you feel a deep connection to everything. Watching birds return home is a reminder of the enduring magic that surrounds us.
