'Ikkle mousie' will probably provide a welcome party for the new tenants then.
..at least they won't be able to accuse you of taking everything!! LOL

...I'm so relieved I didn't give my windows a biannual clean today - now i have an excuse not to!!

Lol Maggie, I am moving soon so if he does he is out of luck. He was a wood mouse so probably won't return.

We had one move in when we lived in Wales, he made his home in an organ lol, only realised he was there when the sheet music fell out in little shreds ...awww he had made his nest with it and plotted a route to the kitchen where he had collected the peanuts bought for the birds and made a winter store of them :)

Rose, you do realise' ikkle mousie' may come back - and set up home in your house for the winter!!!

My windows are rarely squeeky clean Bob .... I have three dogs that press their noses all over them on a daily basis ....lol

perhaps not having spotless shiny windows has its merits?

grubby they can see, shiny, they see the sky's reflection...

A couple of years ago we had a young Sparrowhawk fly straight into the living room window and knock itself out , OH rushed out and picked it up ( still stunned ) , he put it on the window sill and a moment later it flew off . Our living room has fairly large windows each end of the room , I guess it thought it could fly straight through as it could see light on the other side .

They're surprisingly resilient aren't they SueMaid, though having said that I've had to bury two starlings that crashed head first into the window.

We had a large bird crash into one of our glass doors Rose. I waited for my son to go out and see to it but just as he opened the door a very groggy bird hopped to the end of the patio then flew off. It must've been stunned.

It could well be Ann, lol entitled " The wildlife that I have known" :))

I'm used to it lol, we always had something being looked after in a box in the corner when I was young a stray cat, rabbit or chicken ;) would have adopted lol but I felt mousey had a better chance if back in his own environment as soon as we could :))

Are you sure this is not your prologue to this week's writer's group piece?

Glad to hear he has recovered enough to be on his way:-)

I agree with Mau at the Coast, he would have been glad to have met you today.

I would have been hopeless.

aww thought you were going to adopt Rose :O) xx...bet he's glad he came your way!

Makes you jump doesn't it Mau? We had a barn owl do it once, he was ok but gave us a chance to see him close to!

We took mouse outside a little while ago in a plastic container and laid it gently on side with lots of ground cover and some food by it, just been out and he has gone from container, so fingers crossed he will recover poor little thing.

Rose we had the same experience a while ago after hearing a loud bang from upstairs.

Looked at window thinking we'd see glass had broken,switched on the light and there was a perfect 'impression ' of a big bird's wings....spooky as it appeared like an angel's ......silvery white!

Must have been a seagull.........didn't have a mystery of a mouse though....
Mau xx

A stunned dead pigeon and a mouse in deep shock? hmmmmmm let me think about that one:-)) lol BCXX

Mousey must be sat there in the gerbil cage thinking

"I knew I shouldn't of got up this morning, but a least I get fed here"

Wonder if pigeon was trying to escape from the claws of Dick Dastardly and Mutley :-)

Mousey is still alive, in the spare gerbil cage withsome gerbil food in case he rallies ( raises eyes to heaven lol why me ;))

Well I did half wonder Rose ....lol.....so it was a stunned pigeon then , maybe it landed on the mouse and gave it a terrible shock.....lol

Or ....perhaps a greedy Hawk had already caught the mouse and then pursued the pigeon but ended up losing both ? It does all seem rather odd .

Lol Tooty Fruity,

I'll let you know address soon J* :))

That's what I thought Amanda but D said the 'dead bird' was a young pigeon...a greedy hawk carrying both? ( lol do you think this has anything to do with me dreaming about that hawk the other night lol)
