Thwup

An interesting addition to My garden: Miniscule little bird with fluffy feathers, no tail and a very insistent voice. Follows one of the small brown birds everywhere and then sits and flutters. The slightly larger one charges around at breakneck speed finding grubs and things which it then pokes and rams down the throat of the tiny one.

It definitely needs flying lessons. Currently hurls itself upwards and then flaps and flutters desperately as it descends. Doesn't seem to have any control of where it ends up and has already crash landed several times - in a plant, on the trunk of a tree, straight through the open-work wooden panelling by the green house. (Made a gentle almost un-noticeable thwup as it hit the glass and disappeared downwards.) Looks like a small ball of pale brown cotton wool in a breeze.

Shall have to go see if Myself can do anything to assist.
