Last week I rescued a blackbird from the jaws of death by cat. This involved me running around the garden shouting at maisy like a lunatic, wrestling with her in a bush and then managing to shut her indoors.

I didn’t think the bird would make it because it was in shock and let me stroke it and half its tail was missing, but when I next went out it had disappeared.

Now I keep seeing it in the garden, it seems fine and just flies a bit wonky, and it comes really close to me now :)
