Swift
Got home from work one day and found this swift had managed to get in through an open window but wasn't able to get out again. It seemed quite weak and dehydrated but it did drink some water when offered on a teaspoon. After I picked it up it clung onto my fingers quite tightly, long enough for me to get several shots in different lighting. I then transfered it, with some difficulty, to a less animate perch and left it in the shade on the outside window ledge and after about 20-30 minutes if flew away.
