O blackbird! sing me something well: While all the neighbours shoot thee round, I keep smooth plats of fruitful ground, where thou may'st warble, eat and dwell." - Tennyson, The Blackbird.
Percy is a poet, amateur naturalist, birdwatcher and lover of all things odd and eccentric. Once, he had hoped to be a member of Arthur's round table, but his battle with chronic illness has dashed his dreams of a knighthood. Forced to lay down his sword, he is learning to find joy in rest, and love in the natural world.
