Soggy Trousers...

I can highly recommend singing along :)

Naughty gulls on nasty pools

And Herons breaking all the rules

Having fun and playing fools

Smashing up the woodcock's tools

All the Grebes is in the pub

Passing 'round the Roach and Chub
Trying not to think of when

The Canadas will come again.

Oh what fun I had

Yomping through the Snipe Fields lad

How I learnt to pull

The thorns and shit from in my leg

Oh what fun we had

But at the time it seemed so bad

Just a flock of geese

To make a difference to... the...

Birding's kinda tough today
All the birds have gone away
Gone to fight on next-door's pool
Every winter, that's the rule
Sits alone and waits for Roy
Robin needs his daily joy
Biscuits, mealworms, bread and stuff
Blackbird's gone off in a huff

Oh what fun I had
Counting Teal and Shoveler lad
How I learnt to check
Each silhouette and tiny speck
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Jack Snipe's gone away
That makes a difference to the day.

Ain't no girls, but lots of boys

Lots of smells and lots of noise

Listening for an early Lark

Checking owl fields after dark

Soggy trousers, dirty shirt

There's a Snipe it's eating dirt

Owl is in its ivy tree

add to the year list, 1 2 3

Oh what fun we had

But, did it really turn out bad

Sparrowhawk makes four

It's time to hit the road some more

Oh what fun we had

But at the time it seemed so bad

Trying different ways

To make a difference to the days.
