Red kites and their future nesting materials

Wildness the truest pedigree
That imprint on one’s soul
How to preserve an ongoing home
And, stay in control
Using the godly remnants
Leaves and Barks and Roots
Flotsam from the human world
And dodge the Hunters shoots
A schedule one listed species
Protected through and through
Reintroduced and thriving
And what we see is true
Nesting on the higher trees
Reuse of materials they
Are utilising human crap
To pass their time away

Covid masks and surgical tape
Plastics bottle tops
Rubbish left in forests
Shit now sprayed on crops
Detected in the various nests
Located for sure
The grass and natural organic matter
Not there like before.

Sure we can erect towers around them
Stick cameras close to see
What they all get up to
In their privacy
Change some of the detritus
They have collected there
And re- Introduce some naturalness
And just all remain aware.
