Close encounter of the bird kind. Chris Phillimore, Somerset.

A treecreeper flew into the glazed wall of my office at our home in Chard Somerset. I picked it up and it was a little stunned but then I found that it would not let go of my hand - I carried it around for some while and then placed it on a stone bird bath to see if it wanted to have some r&r! I was able to gently stroke it and it did not react. It then flew up onto my ear and stayed there for some while, eventually it flew up onto the roof. It was still there half an hour later!
