Out with the Birds

I was very impressed by the boldness of the birds on the island. They were quite loud and often you’d hear them before you could spot them. I don’t know my birds that well and it could be native to the island, but it looked like a brown robin. Perhaps it was too warm for him to exhibit red feathers, or maybe he wasn’t young enough for them yet. Or his added height might make him feel safe enough to make some noise while watching other events unfold below. He might even be a chameleon robin. It was hard to spot any other birds in the area. Perhaps they’d already started their migration, or maybe they tend to hide further inland where they’re less likely to be spotted by predators. So this little chap could have been abandoned as he wasn’t strong enough. He could have been calling out to his family.
