Gathered from the grass, it was
robbed from the box
early by the cat
and toyed with in
the clover.
Tentatively he picks it up
in his hand and climbs the
tree to put the baby bird back.

Kingcombe Birds
I spent a weekend with the European Conservation Action Network (EuCAN) at the Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Kingcombe centre. The birds seen here were caught in mist nets and ringed by Neil, who measured their wingspan, checked for disease, and sent them away back into the wild.
