Not The Removals Men

[poliphilo]

Woke up at six because someone was moving furniture around- or that's what it sounded like. Didn't investigate. All I wanted was to go back to sleep again.

Sleeeeep! Don't get nearly enough of it these days.

Came downstairs at eight to find a young starling in the kitchen. I suppose it must have been there all night, roosting- and had then woken at dawn. The useless cat hadn't managed to get at it (though there was evidence he'd been climbing on the units in a vain attempt) and it was hammering away at one of the windows. I opened the sliding doors and Ailz picked it up and carried it to freedom.

At least the starling flew to the safety of the air.

Yes, it didn't seem to have sustained any damage.

I'm delighted the cat had apparently opted not to bother too much, of course - somewhat surprisingly, as they must've been a bit irritating.

No such drama here - the most I encounter is the odd moth deciding to spiral down into my bath. (I try to rescue them, though not with 100% success, as the bubbles sometimes obscure where they've wound up)
