This reminds me of the time we lived in Wiltshire, when bats would fly around the garden in the evening, and of course one flew in through the patio doorI. It was a while before it flew out again, but it was lovely seeing one close up. We had a robin in the kitchen a few weeks ago. I opened the french doors from the kitchen into the garden, but no, it decided (before I could close the door) to go through into the hall, then the lounge. It seemed quite happy hopping around the floor and furniture, and not a bit frightened, in fact it seemed quite at home. I finally ushered it back into the kitchen and waited until it decided to depart. I have had collared doves fall down the chimney, they panic against the windows trying to escape. I did have a poor starling fall into the fire one Christmas, we rescued it and poured water on it and placed it in a box in a quiet corner. To my amazement the next morning, when I opened the box, expecting to find a dead bird there was this very perky but scorched bird, which I let go into the garden. I often saw it over the next few weeks, it was the one with no feathers down one side, but it seemed to be coping. Needless to say we now have wire over the chimneys. but it doesn't stop them coming in the door.
