I saved a life today

(This isn't one of my photos!)
I was down at the golf club earlier practising my chipping on the chipping green when I heard a bird chirping like mad. When I looked over to where the toilets are I saw a little baby Blue Tit in the grass, and its parents were flying in and out of a ventilation shaft into the building. Well, I was gutted. The poor little thing was petrified, but I felt totally helpless. If I'd have picked it up with my hands its parents would have abandoned it anyway and possibly pecked it to death. If I'd have left it it would have been got at by a cat or something. Me being me, the waterworks started as I tried to carry on chipping while the little one chirped in panic. And then I had an idea *lightbulb* I have a little towel in my golf bag for wiping my clubs. I took that and picked up the little chick with it. It was SO cute! Then I climbed up some dodgily balanced pallets and popped the chick back into the ventilation shaft. I could hear the other chicks chirping inside. Meanwhile the parents were going berserk in the tree next to me. Afterwards i saw both parents fly in and out again so it seemed that all was well with them and the chicks. I hope the little one makes it now and grows up and learns to fly.....properly! ;-)
Needless to say I'm feeling really happy this evening. I was almost ready to give up and try and ignore the chick, but I'm glad I was able to help something in a precarious situation, particularly after a rather depressing day at work (a line manager got fired!). Lesson learned: don't give up on something just because you first think you can't do anything. Usually you can change the world, at least, the world of something or someone else. :-)
