Had a death yesterday!
Found a little Goldfinch, fully fledged under the feeder. I picked him up and he sat on my finger for an age, just placing his head back on his wing. Tried to put him amongst the flowers round the crab apple but he was having none of it, and went and sat in a plant pot. When OH got home 20 mins later I went to find it and he had gone to sleep for a final time.
It seemed such a shame as he was such beautiful little thing. He has a proper burial with OH, me and two dogs in attendance, and is now laid to rest next to the Agapanthus which currently looks nearly as spectacular as he did, I thought it was a fitting place.
So so sad
