Butterfly meat
Picture: Limestone birdbath seen through binoculars. England. UK.
Harold Guiseley
Of Bramhope, Yorkshire,
Has five birdbaths
In his garden;
One for each day
Of the week.
On a fine Tuesday morning,
Harold is looking through
His Leica 10x14 Trinovid binoculars
At his Tuesday birdbath.
As he watches,
A Painted Lady butterfly
Alights dexterously
On the limestone rim
Of the birdbath.
Shortly afterwards,
A juvenile Starling
Executes a clumsy
Splash landing
And eats
The Painted Lady butterfly.
There's not a lot
Of meat
On a butterfly.
There's not a lot
Of meat
On a butterfly,
Compared with, say,
That found on
A Burchell's Zebra
Or on a Northern Bluefin Tuna,
Unless, of course,
You are a vegetarian.
But juvenile Starlings
Must make do with
What they can get.
Burchell's Zebras
And Northern Bluefin Tuna
Are rarely found
In English limestone birdbaths.
And it was
A life-changing experience
For the butterfly.
