Wow! a small bird flew into the office a few minutes ago! It landed on a chair, I spotted it, grabbed my camera, but it disappeared again. It came in again a few minutes later and I had my camera ready and took a few pics, none are great as it’s very hard to take photographs of a fast-flying and agitated bird in an enclosed space. I grabbed a bin and spent the next 5 minutes trying to capture it, with Kevin’s help we managed to get it into the bin and covered before letting it go outside. I heard the bird chirp 3 times as it flew away.. (wipes tear from eye)
