Kingfisher
by Norman MacCaig
That kingfisher jewelling upstream
seems to leave a streak of itself
in the bright air. The trees
are all the better for its passing.
It’s not a mineral eater, though it looks it.
It doesn’t nip nicks out of the edges
of rainbows. – It dives
into the burly water, then, perched
on a Japanese bough, gulps
into its own incandescence
a wisp of minnow, a warrior stickleback.
– Or it vanishes into its burrow, resplendent
Samurai, returning home
to his stinking slum.

Little Trotty Wagtail
by John Clare
Little trotty wagtail he went in the rain
And tittering tottering sideways he near got straight again
He stooped to get a worm and look’d up to catch a fly
And then he flew away e’re his feathers they were dry
Little trotty wagtail he waddled in the mud
And left his little foot marks trample where he would
He waddled in the water pudge and waggle went his tail
And chirrupt up his wings to dry upon the garden rail
Little trotty wagtail you nimble all about
And in the dimpling water pudge you waddle in and out
Your home is nigh at hand and in the warm pigsty
So little Master Wagtail I’ll bid you a goodbye

How do the poems celebrate birds in different ways?
The poet celebrates the beauty of the bird by comparing the kingfisher to a precious gem with its bright and radiant colours. It shimmers as it moves through the air, leaving a streak like a meteor.
