high flyers

Dark air-life looping

Yet missing the pure loop ...

A twitch, a twitter, an elastic shudder in flight

And serrated wings against the sky,

Like a glove, a black glove thrown up at the light,

And falling back.

Never swallows!

Bats!

The swallows are gone. 

from Bat by D.H. Lawrence

The other day I came across theses photo of Dash on my computer.

I thought I would share them with you all. It gives you a rare glimpse into the life and mind of this unique, intelligent, misunderstood creature.

 The pics are about seven years old now, and sadly, she has lost some of this curious spark. Having kids around has made her wary and sleepy. Don't know why!!

But she still keeps us entertained :)

And in case you're concerned, yes we do give her fresh water!!
