Sleepy Loch moves gently with the tide

Babbling brook flows busily by its side

Swallows chatter as they dart under croft

Mergansers parade, their crests aloft

Shag and Eider dive at speed

While oyster catcher forage weed

Plover and sandpiper ready to fly

From hungry heron in the blink of an eye

And thrush and warbler sing the tune

Of a very Scottish afternoon
