Two foxes bathing in the sun warmed valley, white geese, aylesbury ducks gliding along a salt water lake, the family of swans at swanpool - all six cygnets flourishing, moorhens and their young - selfless parents scouring the ground for bread and seed to feed their little ones, coots, rock-climbing near the depths of ocean, birds nest in the roof of a church, silver birch trees, collecting leaves, silent graveyard and a tiny lifeless fledgling {I placed a flower next to its still body}.
