Last day

Willy Wag Tail  - Tall Tale

The very last day of my working life I sat down in the sun and warmth for the very last 10min. I was greeted by the one and only thing that I will truly miss in this school. This bird has been my constant companion always looking for a free feed most times almost side by side to my boots. I had to look before I moved she was that close. Soon the be a mum she is flat out building a nest I lost some of my sock to her nest.

She is a wild bird that came to trust me I would never do her harm or touch her , she instead touched me. Time to time I will put my work shirt on and go back and see here and hope for some new chicks.

Almost the end of an unbelievable tale but here it is in colour. This is one of 10 shots of her from the day. This was her last......... The story started March 2024
