This tiny bird was caught up in the 'v' of the bird stand - you can see i have plugged it with a little vase at the moment. the bird was stuck in the bottom of the V shape with each wing splayed around two legs. fortunately it did not struggle while i lifted it out by its two little wings.
it was extreme luck i was passing having just walked up to the house to get a cup of coffee.
. with eyes closed and shock kicking in i put it into a shoe box with the lid askew in the studio for an hour. checking a couple of times its little body was breathing heavily while it recovered.
and thankfully, recover it did! it was bright eyed and alert when i put the box outside without the lid. with other bird sounds around, the little mite chirped loudly and i saw an adult come over to the box. the little one soon flew off with the adult. so good.
is it a house sparrow ? i googled but i cannot see any images with the yellow marks on either side of its beak.
