Todays road casualty is....


..after Badger, Woodpigeon, Bullfinch and Red Squirrel, Jane came in this morning with a Fieldfare. This one made it across the North Sea as far as our road and thats about I think. Only my third on the coast this autumn, it's now in a box in the outhouse not getting on too well. It looks fantastic. A feather perfect 1st winter bird, probably a female, but it has lost the use of its legs and wont fly.

I am going to give it until tomorrow to see if there is any improvement. If not then I'll do what needs to be done...
