Yesterday morning just before 8am I was hanging out the washing under the pergola roof when I heard a bang,turned around to find a beautiful small blue green bird lying on the tiles.It must have lost its way,flew in under the see through roof & collided with the sliding glass door ,fell down just missing the dog bed .I wrapped it up & put it in the cat carrier for safe keeping .The Vets open at 9am but the bird was moving around so I took the carrier outside ,opened the door & the bird flew out & after a few goes ,flew up into the trees watched by me & the cat.

I have never seen this type of bird before.It is a Mangrove Kingfisher who has probably lost its home to the bushfires.This photo isn't very good because it was overcast ,drizzling & the bird was in our cats carrier which is blue.
