Lunar Eclipse with Long-tailed tit Trills and Wings

It’s the Lunar Eclipse, but it’s also so cloudy that any glimpse into it is impossible with the naked eye.
Regardless of that impossibility, there is a place I haven’t been in a long time and I missed to remain long hours in meditative silence, which this location provides.

Not long after I settle, I hear the rapid burst of small wings and continuous multiple trills coming from above, as the Long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) usually moves in groups. The soundscapes goes on punctuated by the blackbird’s (Turdus merula) end of afternoon calls behind me and the colourful bee-eaters (Meropidae). The water is so calm with no wind that one can barely hear its direct presence.

It’s a piece of land that resists in its own way, with plants and animals that have adapted as they could, with every hour passing, from day to night, revealing new inhabitants or neighbours.
