After googling what to do, and ringing the local bird sanctuary, they told me to put it in a cardboard box and bring it to them to recuperate. So I get my toughest bike gloves on, helmet, jacket ..... ALL THE GEAR, ALL THE TIME. As I bent down one eye opened, it looked at me, shrieked and focced off!![]()
I did the same thing years ago whilst living at home we had a massive Christmas tree taller than the house and there was a cat 3/4 the way up so I too donned the gloves and helmet and it one look at this weird thing approaching muttering sh1t sh1t sh1t it just jumped, I think the wider branches below saved it.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
