Some neighbours of mine have been looking after an orphaned blackbird for nearly a month. I've had a minor role in the process, taking it under my wing on a few occasions. I also named it Marlene (after Marlene Dietrich) but, given the difficulty of sexing birds early on, it could have been Marlon (after Marlon Brando).

On Thursday, it chose freedom!

In short 'Norwegian Wood'!
