I really enjoy seeing the birds here. So far we have seen:
There is something fascinating about birds. As a youngster I studied birds whilst recovering from severe burns to my back, which almost killed me.
Birds are fragile creatures, with necessarily light weight (relatively fragile) bones. The fact that they can fly is amazing, launching into flight in a flash, dodging around obstacles and alighting ever so accurately on a small branch, that you would think would be hard to even see while in flight.
There are lots of birds in the world, and how they survive their fragility is impressive.
Yet, Jesus said, every sparrow that falls is noted by G^d, then even more surprisingly he says, "You are worth many sparrows." I didn't see that one coming!
But it is a great comfort.
- Magpies
- Mallards
- Yellow Wagtails
- Jackdaw crows
- Canadian geese
- Eurasian Coots
- Gulls
