Flighty bird,

Rarely seen but often heard.

Stand still for just a tick?

I need to get a decent pic.

Come here, rest on this branch.

Please. Please. Give me a fighting chance.

Just for a moment come out into the light.

NO! NO! DON'T TAKE FLIGHT!

Screw it.

That's it.

You freaking won.

I'm going home, I'm freaking done.
