Sparrow

This little sparrow flew straight into the kitchen window and knocked himself out cold. We sat on the bench next to him and watched to see if he would recover. He was unconscious for quite a while but we could see his little heart was beating. We sat with him to guard him from marauding magpies and then he opened his eyes and managed to turn over. He stayed like that for a while and then staggered up and hid under a planter for a few minutes. All of a sudden he appeared and flew straight off into the trees. We were delighted by such a simple thing.
