I wondered about the origin of the phrase ‘a bird on a wire’ or ‘birds on a wire’ but couldn’t find an answer. Some believe that the expression comes from Leonard Cohen’s song:
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Or maybe it’s simply because part of the urban or country landscape is now the sight of birds landing, sitting and taking off from electric and telephone wires.
Fabulous photo Kriss, love it. You caught the moment and the movement perfectly x
These two remind me of the ones we have in our garden who keep flirting with each other! Great photo Kriss, love the contrast and well done capturing them with their wings outstretched. Thanks for sharing with #bwphotoproject
Ps Awesome to meet you the other day x
Love, love, LOVE this! You captured it at exactly the right time. Amazing 🙂
Lovely shot Kriss. I hope you are settling back in to life on the other side of the pond x
Thanks Lou – slowly settling back in but still very busy!
Gerrof!
No, YOU gerrof! 😀 x
he he – i always wonder what they’re thinking about us humans as the sit and stare at us from a wire 🙂
Great action shot – just love it #bwphotoproject
