I was reading the papers while sitting on the sofa
when I heard a bird tweeting rapidly. As the bird sound
was unusual I desired to see what kind of bird it was.
Looking up from the paper I was reading I looked out
into the garden and said softly, "Come into my view 
that I may see you." The little bird flew right into my 
view and perched on a flower plant for a few seconds, 
still making its high pitched rapid tweeting and flew 
away! hmmm,,,, must work at this ...
It was either a humming bird or one I have not seen
before. It was smaller than a sparrow. But the sound was
not that of a humming bird - or perhaps it was in distress
and therefore the unusual rapid short notes.
