Wow, look up!
What do you see?

In the morning…

Small sparrows and big hadedas.

In the daytime…

A flutter of butterflies over flowers.

A sugarbird with its long tail.

A sunbird with its bright red collar.

A yellow-billed kite soaring high in the sky.

In the late afternoon…
Bees buzzing to their hive.

As the sun sets…

Geese flying home.

The twinkling lights of an aeroplane full of people.

Bats eating insects for their dinner.

When it’s nice and dark…
An owl swooping over a field.

A shooting star.

Even when we’re dreaming, there is so much to see!
