Nurse Eirlys

He must have been very surprised to wake up and find himself tucked up in bed under paper sheets! So glad he recovered - one of my favourite birds. They always remind me of sauce boats...

well done you! thats a great rescue! i hope he repays you by continuing to visit!

sauce boats steragram? but you werent thinking of cooking one?

We're often on the case of "what's hit the window NOW??" Sadly, some don't recover, but most do - just leaving a patch of soft down on the window before they fly away with their biggest ever headache! Like you, we keep an eye out for feral cats and the village dogs until the invalid has recovered.

Steragram; "sauce boats". I know exactly what you mean!
They have that tip-tilted stance ; they look like smaller woodpeckers.

Stickitoffee; Yes, he/she's back feeding at the bird table. Striking bird.(in more ways than one!)

Nariz: The worst case we had was when a Jay crashed against our garage door.It was a beautiful bird.
We have had a lovely "angel" image on our window : a pigeon!

Snoopdog: I didn't fall for that one! :O)

Have you seen my blog of October 2011 called 'Trapped' about the Sparrowhawk who crashed into our balcony door? I was soooooo glad when it finally managed to fly away - although it kept us on tenterhooks all day!

How do I find that, please, Nariz?

I think the link should take you there Eirlys, I went to nariz's blogs or you can put 'trapped' into the search box at the top of the page.

Thank you for the link, Stickitoffee. It worked. I had tried "trapped" in the Search box but got nowhere.

Both nuthatch birds have been back every day feeding. They love sunflower seeds.

you're welcome!

i shall put out more sunflower seeds now, thank you
