House Martin (juvenile)
House Martin / delichon urbicum. Derbyshire. 17/06/23.
'ENIGMA BIRD.'
A juvenile House Martin that I rescued during the summer.
* The full background story is given in a previous post.
The little beauty was photographed when I returned home.
Initially, placed in the shelter of a wood pile so the feathers could dry out, it settled quickly and calmly in order to recover.
The image suggests it knew exactly where it belonged, as it often raised its eyes skyward before getting placed inside a cardboard box.
* Thankfully my actions resulted in a happy ending that you may think worth checking out ...
