Unexpected visitor

I heard a fluttering in the window. For a second, I thought the cockatiel had escaped, although I couldn't imagine how, unless T had opened the cage door. But it wasn't, it was a robin. Daft thing had ventured into the house when the door was open and was panicking.

Fortunately, this being an old cottage with windows set deep into the walls, which are about two feet thick, it was a simple matter to keep it in the window while trying to capture it in a cloth. It had unfortunately chosen one painted shut to bash itself against, so opening it to let it out wasn't an option. I let it go in the garden and it seemed none the worse for its experience.

It stopped and gave me a bit of a look before flying off.
