    What's buzzing or flying near you 2025 ?

    Oh wow, that's amazing. How wonderful to see so many greenfinches. And it's usually hard to catch sight of a skylark.

    Oh, I see, @Allex50, you posted your poem on the 2017 thread and I replied. This one dates from 2024. I wonder if it's the most recent poem thread, maybe no one has started another.
