Jacky Winter

 With white stripes above the eyebrows and mostly brown and grey

Jacky Winter sings peter peter in the woodland all the day

Whilst in fork of dead branch the female in small cup grass nest sits on the two pale brown dotted eggs she did lay

Quite unlike her vocal partner she has nothing for to say

In the Spring and in the Summer jacky winter one does hear

Singing his song peter peter his most vocal time of year

He sings with a lot of  volume for a fellow of his size

One of Nature's feathered minstrels who never cease to surprise

To some referred to as the brown flycatcher but as jacky winter better known

Quite a cocky individual who does have ways of his own

For to devour small flying insects from the perch he sings on he fly

Even whilst singing on the lookout for a snack flying nearby

Jacky Winter in the woodland singing his familiar song

Peter peter once you hear him you will never again get him wrong.
