The chaffinch sings on the orchard bough ...

Not so much singing, this chaffinch, as stuffing his face. The quote is from Browning: 

Oh, to be in England, Now that April's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees some morning, unaware, That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf, Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough In England now.
