Birds of the British Isles by Elle Osborne

I have walked the county with a pony by my side
I have met the weather, I have read the sky
I have taken in the air, I have taken in the miles
But I don’t know all the birds of the British isles

Well I know many things, some that others don’t know
I know if you see a rook on its own, it’s a crow
And I know the heft of heron and the light of blackbird calls
But I don’t know all the birds of the British Isles

And I can say many things, some that others wouldn’t care to
I know what to say to people when they pick on you
And I’ve almost learnt to greet the haters with loving smiles
But I haven’t learnt my birds of the British isles
