My FB friend Nandan Tavanandi, has an amazing collection of bird photos that he clicked at the Rann of Kutch where he went on a birding trip..
One of those , was that of Eurasian Spoonbill on their evening walk with Large Egret.... and the demeanor and body language of the birds was so striking.
A case of a smaller cerebral cortex, but sharper eyes.
Or maybe it appeared so to me, given what is happening in the country today ,....

Touch-down
after flying in
from a freezing north,
and
Egret Aji,
with a pained thoughtful look
said
" I fly down each year,
and year after year
what I see
below me
gets worse and worse.
Spoonbillas,
We need to keep together,
whether we fly
or
walk exploring the marsh.
I thought there is safety in numbers.
But sometimes,
amongst humans,
the numbers themselves
become untrustworthy,
cruel and sick.
These humans have gone mad."
