Where do I begin?

Do you ever see wild animals?

I work at the side of the river Dart here in Narnia (Twinned with Totnes) there’s a 8-12ft bit of land with lots of trees between my office window and the river, with a field on the other side. So I see lots of different creatures on a daily basis.

There’s a family of 6-12 pheasants in the field over the river, which makes me happy as I love pheasants. one will usually shout as I get out the car. I’m sure it’s fluke, but some days a pheasant yelling. “You got this!” Is what you need to hear.

On the river it’s self there’s two swans very regularly and lots of ducks and seagulls washing and feeding at low tide.

Then there’s the menagerie of wild birds that come and sit on my office window from Robins, to Ravens and even a very tame pigeon or two. This is because I have a window feeder for the small birds and the larger (and small) can eat off the window sill feeder.

There’s more. I also have a lot of tame(ish) squirrels who at times will wait on the fence by my parking spot or sit watching me through the window. This may (or may not) be down to the supply of whole peanuts next to my desk and a squirrel feeder near my parking spot.

So as you can see I’m very blessed to have such beauty and nature at work. It’s very calming sometimes when it’s busy. I stop look out the window while I catch up on paperwork. It’s so grounding.

About Bob W Christian

I’m Bob Christian; a husband, father, grandfather and cat dad. I’m a dyslexic poet. I am on the Autism Spectrum and I started writing poetry, or scribbles as I’ve always referred to them, to help me to process my thoughts and emotions. It’s also helped with my PTSD. It’s gone from there and after over 20 years is still going strong, I’m now finally dabbling in to photography as I’ve been told I have a good eye.
