Observation details
This wonderful bird landed in our tallowood tree this afternoon. It didn't seem too well and seemed to be recovering from an ordeal or shock. It was breathing really heavily - heaving, you could say. And you can see it's belly seems to be wet - no idea why. Anyway, we wouldn't even have noticed it except that Timmy was barking at it. After about 30 minutes it flew off, right on dark and hopefully it will be OK. [14/4/2019 Having spent the last few years immersed in birds, I suspect this bird was fine and had had a bath in the bird bath that is under our tree (before we went into the yard). And it was waiting to dry in the winter afternoon soon]
