Bird drama this morning - a young jackdaw had flown/fallen into our front garden and couldn't seem to figure out how to fly back up.
Distressed parents on the roof squawking at it. Hungry cats patrol the neighbourhood so we needed to act.
When I walked towards it it flew along the ground to the other end of the garden but didn't get much height.
My wife suggested releasing it from a first floor window so we trapped it in a fat ball bucket and opened the bedroom window, and it swooped across to a tree in the garden of a neighbour across the way, with its parents in pursuit.
