A Precarious Maiden Flight!
























This morning we were alerted to impending disaster by a loud thump against the glass doors into the kitchen. Sitting bemused, on the doormat, we found a very young blue tit with his wing bent backwards in an awkward position. Isis, was first on the scene & we found her standing back, looking quizically at the new arrival. Zeus & Vulcan were soon providing back-up & by the time I arrived they were all observing the tiny bird with curiosity. They remained calm and our little feathered friend, dazed, allowed me to lift him to the safety of the bird table. His wing was undamaged! It was a priviledge to meet him & I was proud of our doggies' good manners. We've called him 'Lucky'.
