A faint breath of wind

Magpie 200307

I have, of course, seen birds all my life and I have always loved them but, for no reason at all, I never thought that I could actually observe and study something other than sparrows without taking long trips to the country.

And then one day I looked out of my window and saw a magpie alight on the wall that divides my flatroof from my neighbour's. That was the surprise and when she took off, her wings started a breath of wind in my heart and in my mind that has not yet ceased.
