The Day's Good Deed


Strolling through the indoor gardening warehouse at B&Q today, my spirits lifted considerably when I spotted a lovely little pied wagtail walking ahead of me, quite nonchalantly. I was slightly concerned that it would find its way out again, so I kept an eye on it.

Sure enough, it eventually flew to the large windows and repeatedly tried to fly out; in vain as it happened and the wonderful little creature was becoming exhausted since its beak was wide open.

I persevered and, after ten minutes, cornered it at a window; gently handled it with both hands; and carried it to the exit where my joy was boundless as it flew away.
