@Twa_Pehs Lovely to see your Tiger moth pics. When I was a child I used to collect their caterpillars, lovely 'woolly bears' and rear them in a jamjar. Brother and I held caterpillar races on the back steps! Not all bad though, I managed to rear some to full blown moths as well
Dozy pigeon still there … it’s moved off the log pile and back on again, but it’s still on the ground … I’ve put a handful of sunflower hearts nearby … yes I know I’m sorft 🙄

Two sparrows hit the window the other day and this one needed a bit of time to come around. I think a hawk buzzed the flock around the feeders and two went the wrong way. It's amazing to watch them slowly recover their balance and eventually fly off.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Herman the Squab is still on the woodpile but he’s looking much perkier … bright-eyed upright rather than hunched as earlier, and moving his head to watch us as we move around the garden. I think he might be going to make it … 🤞 🕊

When birds crashed my windows I always rushed out and put them in a little box kept specially for casualties and put them in a quiet place overnight. 'No need' says Mellors who knows stuff. Place them upright in grass or a bush or whatever and they'll come round eventually if they're going to.
First thing this morning I thought Herman the Squab was on his way out … unresponsive and huddled in a corner amongst the undergrowth. However, the sunflower seeds had been eaten by someone … now I’ve just seen Herman perched on the edge of the birdbath looking pretty good. Maybe he’s just not an early riser?

Not always very wild. This one shared OH's mixed nuts.
