Silvereye rescued





Today this little Silvereye flew into our window and fell to the ground. His eyes were closed but he was still breathing, so we picked him up and placed him in the garden. He sat, eyes closed, for about 20 minutes. All the time one of his mates was calling in the nearby tree. Finally he opened his eyes and took a few more minutes to recover while I took some photos. Then he flew off and joined his mate.
