This little chap got lost last year. I got the fright of my life as I walked past the lounge door and spied him flying about indoors – he must’ve taken a wrong turning and flown in through the open front door. When I tried to rescue him he got himself trapped between the sashes of our old wooden windows.
Thankfully I have a young botanist in the house and he rose to the challenge of rescuing the Blue Tit. We brought him outside and popped him on the balcony. I fully expected him to fly off straight away but he stayed for a while to compose himself before scooting off to find his friends.
I’m linking with Wild Daffodil and Nana Cathy for this we key photo challenge throughout 2017.
Brilliant, so glad you had a happy outcome
Great story and lovely images. Wonderful to hear your family is a saviour one.
Thank you Denis, thankfully I have a Dr Doolittle in the family! He’s a great fan of creatures, I think if we still lived in England in a house with a back garden he would be out there digging up worms most of the time!
I assume you have all watched the Durrells series? any pet monkeys?
Oh yes we have and enjoyed it very much. No pet monkeys – just a rabbit! 🐰
Well done for capturing him. I would have been slightly freaked out too if I’d suddenly spied him!
Haha, yes I did get quite a surprise! When I was growing up we had a budgie and he used to fly around the lounge, so at first I did a double take and thought it was the ghost of long dead Nicky, but quickly came to my senses and realised I wasn’t seeing things after all!!
