Sad

I found this wee one on my back path when I went out to bring in the washing.

Of course I went straight back for my camera.

I did think it was too young to have left the nest and wondered how it got there.  It sat there frozen while I took its photo but when I went to pick it up to put it higher so the dog couldn't get it I found the poor wee thing had a broken leg.  Ouch!

I hated doing it but it seemed right to kill it - there was no chance of survival and it was more humane than leaving it to die in its own time.
