Earlier on in the blog I posted about the owl that flew into our house - now Keith has manfully saved another member of the bird population.
We were sitting at home on Thursday evening and heard some scrabbling in the chimney - we have open fires in winter. Keith took away the newspaper that was blocking up the chimney and pulled out - a pigeon! Covered in soot, decidedly shellshocked, but a pigeon nonetheless, which presumably had fallen down the chimney.
I am a wimp where matters of birds are concerned so I ran a mile. Keith shouted to me to get the camera, he then took the bird outside and washed it down - its eyes were completely covered in soot and it couldn't see. It then shook itself, shed a considerable quantity of feathers, and flew off.
