The weekend's Welsh birding highlight was an Orphean Warbler, feeding on apples in a Pembrokeshire garden. |
As the film's Orphean tale unfolds, a young writer-poet-musician descends into the absinthe-soaked, decadent underworld in search of ideal love. |
Bee-eaters flew low overhead, uttering their wonderfully liquid call, while Ruppell's and Orphean warblers flitted from bush to bush, and a wryneck hopped out a few yards in front of me. |
Intertwined with her Orphean ordeal is a Japanese folk tale about a man who drowns himself after learning that his bride is secretly a bird. |

The final section contains a series of poems recalling, sometimes more through title than progression, the Orphean myth. |
