It was still in more or less the same place after tea, OH had given it some bird seed, and it had eaten most of it, and done some green poo

The bird's plumage is beautiful, lovely pink breast feathers.
So, we are going away shortly, and for its safety, it is in the old hen run, which still contains the hut, but is now a log store. It has some food and a bowl of water. We went to see if it was still with us a short while since, and it had hidden in the back of the hut, behind some garden canes.
We will see what is what tomorrow, and try and contact the racing pigeon people, or ask my neighbour to feed and water it while we are away. It has made no attempt to fly, and it is nice to have another bird around, I miss our girls, though it is three years since we lost Rosie.
