He was probably cold, a bit wet and wanted a rest whilst waiting for the small birds to come out again.


Lovely, lovely birds - sometimes I used to hear a deeply religious neighbour excitedly squealing that the angels were with her again, as a cascade of feathers was drifting down past her window.

I never had the heart to tell that the sparrowhawk was sitting on my chimneybreast preparing its dinner at the time.
