Animal control must be sick of me, with how often they have to drive up here.

I could pick this birdy (unsure if thrush or blackbird) up with my bare hands, he was extremely skinny and as I was holding him he closed his eyes and his head dropped to the side. I thought he was a goner right there and then. But he was still kicking when they came to pick him up, so fingers crossed he makes it through the night.

🌟🦉 Rare bird alert! A migratory nightjar—last seen in Northern Ireland 150 years ago—turns up exhausted behind a Belfast bin. Rescued by Debbie Doolittle, it rested, recovered, & flew free. A magical winter visitor from Africa! Nature’s surprises never cease. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3wz1e4lnw1o
