Pitch Black
Night jar
Other
Humid
Closed spaces
Still
Thick
Sound
Hub bub
Faint chattering
Light space
sound between intense bird song
Still
Cold
Closeness gone
Bird sings close by
Yellow line
Sun hits oak up high
More space
Less hum
Silent movement of long tails tits above my head
Nightingales close
Light at the edges of things
No wind
sun hitting ground around me
Greens disappearing
Machines in the distance
Air still cool
Light picking up insects
Woodlouse rolled in my hand
Peacocks in distance
Pockets of rich yellow greens
Still
Insects moving between branches
Complex overlaps and echos
Golden oriels singing across space
Crows
rustling stranger
Silk lines horizontal
Butterflies
Dark insect spots hover in place
Gentle wind
Flies
Joggers
Dogs
Space between sounds
Heat beginning
A grey stork
Colours extreme
black and white
Horns in distance
wind taken on sound
Murmur of plants moving on the ground
A nightingale returns
Humidity
Fly circles around my head
Tree creeper on oak
Tall grasses pick up light as if on stage
Moths and butterflies bouncing through grasses into the distance
While
Brown
Insects plants and birds seem to be closing in
Around the oak
Heat
Cicadas
space
Movement
Insect sounds tiny crickets / flies
Sparse tiny birds
Whistles
Squeaks
High pitches
No birds sing
Hornet circling
Music
Cicada intermittent
Colours bleached
Air around oak still
Moss carpet
horizontal branches
Feel the heated layers of air when you stand
Watering high notes of warblers
Cicadas
Flys
Insect twitches
Mosquitoes
Light aircraft

at the oldest oak on the outskirts of Junas Village in France Gard.
