At about 5 am I was woken by that familiar 'thump ' of a bird flying into a window. If our dear Smokey were still alive ( died at age 24!) she would have been outside in a flash .
This time I found a young screech owl, only about 5" high, looking rather stunned. Poor wee thing.
I left him/her for about half an hour hoping he would recover, but he was still on the window ledge.
So I went to make him a bed ( or worse), a shoe box lined in old silk ties, thinking I would take him to the vet.
When I came back he was gone. I hope he is OK.
He does look a little bit cross.

you might be too!
DeleteWhat a precious little thing. Hope he's okay!
ReplyDeleteAwww -poor thing! He probably has a massive migraine after all that.
ReplyDeleteowl love! :D xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise and I am so pleased he did not need the vet. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI expect he was just shocked and stunned. A bed of silk ties eh? - he might well be back.
ReplyDeleteI was going to give a link to the vintage tie section in my scarf shop, but thought it might be a bit crass!
Deleteam i allowed to say that he looks quite menacing???
ReplyDeleteyou might feel rather menacing if you flew into a window at 5 am. Perhaps he was waiting for a get well treat.....a mouse or bit of old steak.
