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?
