Work Text:
The early June sunshine washed over Isaac's face. His favourite weather, at his favourite time of day, in his favourite season. Today he would garden and clean patio furniture for his friend's arrival later, but for now he was grounding his soul through nature.
With a mug of tea and his latest book, he opened his phone to the Merlin app, watching as the bird songs were recording.
His eyes lit up as the Merlin identified what he had already suspected, a rare Hawfinch over at his feeder.
A thrill ran through him. A new one for the life list.
