30 days wild 2019: day 14

A narrow verge has been mown along the edges of all wild parkland and meadows here, politely indicating their designation as intentional wild meadow rather than neglected park. The blackbirds and starlings particularly appreciate this opportunity to hunt for worms unhindered by undergrowth.

The other members of their feathered flock are in the branches above. They chatter, wolf whistle and sizzle as this one feeds on the shorn verge by the path undeterred by the proximity of static humans with cameras or by.speeding humans on bicycles.
