I am the Bird Saviour

I saved a life yesterday. I think. Riding along and there he was, poor little fledgling crow in the gutter... of a 50mph road. And, of course, no one obeys the 50mph limit. I don't fancy my own chances cycling down there sometimes, let alone the poor baby crow in the gutter. So once again, off I get, run back, poor little thing could hardly fly at all. So I managed to catch him and I checked nothing was broken before walking into the bushes and putting him on a low branch (just in case he fell off, but didn't wanna leave him on the floor). Anyway he was sitting quite happy when I left. I think he was hungry coz he had his mouth open a lot... but that might be fear LOL. Anyway, there was a dead crow 50 yards back up the road. Hope it wasn't his mommy. But there were lots of other crows around, so fingers crossed. I felt bad leaving him, not that I could carry him anyway, but just hope his mommy came.
And since yesterday, added another 100 to my yearly mileage. Feel a bit fooked now. Will hopefully break the 1k barrier by the end of the week.
