If you ever feel as if you are being knocked about by life, think about the amazing bird called the Water Ouzel. I can’t imagine this waterbird knows what it is to have a 1 day. The little creature is often found living next to 2 waterfalls and rivers rushing fast. And however threatening the weather, however 3 the water, in snow and rain, the tough and cheerful Water Ouzel can be 4 chirping and singing. What’s more, while the 5 of most songbirds, however melodious in warm weather, fall 6 over long winter months, the hearty Water Ouzel 7 on through all seasons and every kind of 8 . I have to wonder: does this little creature know anything I don’t?
