My friend , Shail Mohan of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala (India' southern most state ), has blogs dedicated to a canine quadruped, winged creatures , and botanical greens in and around the lush area where she lives. She is also a repository for information on Birds of Kerala, and posted this photograph , of what she calls a "displeased" Cattle Egret, clearly frowning and feeling upset about something.
Cattle Egrets are so called because they follow cows/cattle around, sitting on them and picking and making a meal of the ticks and insects on their skin. And yes, they flit across cattle, trying to find something to sustain themselves.
Maybe be just a coincidence, but it reminded me of something.... :-)
of the Bovine type,
stepping
through a crowded electorate,
chewing up the green|
for concrete,
snorting with power,
eyeing new hangers-on
and ignoring
old ones.
And the Egret Partywalla,
displeased,
rethinks
seeing stuff
from a birds eye view.
With elections
around the corner,
sniffing power equations
and changes,
it is time to
fly off,
and look elsewhere
for
new backs to scratch ?
