Never test the depth of the water with both feet
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

Heron looks possible - can't see a pic of one that young but the shape is about right.The weeks and the years are fine. It's the days I can't cope with!Comment

Evening RT - just wondering what colour(s) you might be able to pick from the adult feathers if any? Baby and adult birds are normally very different. I keep thinking crow type bird, but beaks not right.
P.S. Where did next door find it - chances are it only fell a few feet so if the rivers some distance (think baby bird scale) it won't have come from there.Last edited by lizzylemon; 09-09-2009, 09:26 PM.Comment

Blimey - stumped I am. I've checked through me 'Encyclopedia of British Birds' and it just doesn't fit anything obvious
Bill says duck type feet say not
Maybe it's not British n thats why it's not in me book mehbe? Hmmmmmm
Warmth, water and green stuff should be safe enough to keep it going till the morning. Have fun!!
Keep us informed eh?
