I saved a sparrowhawk last night!
Was walking home along a main road, when I saw a bird lying in the gutter, still breathing, but obviously in shock. Cars still whizzing past noisily. I picked it up and wrapped it in my coat, and walked it home, where a friend was able to drive it and me to a wildlife rescue centre. The poor little thing didn't struggle the whole time I held it wrapped in my coat, so was very worried the shock would be too much.
But, just phoned to check, and it's bright and perky and still alive, so all the signs are good!
Just wanted to share a heartwarming story.

Our beautiful birds of prey get a bad press sometimes. They are all part of our wondeful wildlife, and it never fails to thrill when seeing them in the flesh.
This one is a regular here.
