If you can't beat them...

Tree Sparrow

Clickychick was out with clients all day so I was pottering around at home.  Mid morning I was working away on the computer when there was a thump on the window.  Birds bumping into the window is not uncommon even with the blinds draw.  The feeding station is very close and they seem to flutter while choosing a perch.  Normally they just fly on.

This thump was louder than I have heard before so I rushes across to look out expecting to see a dead bird.  Fortunately I was wrong and could see this little fella was still breathing.  I grabbed the camera and went out to investigate.

By the time I got there it was reviving, so I took a few shots feeling pleased there seemed to be no serious damage.  Tree Sparrows are declining so each one is precious.  After q few quick shots I carefully placed it on a nearby table.  Soon it gathered its composure and flew away.  Thank goodness.
