Not a sparrow falls

This morning a small sparrow apparently fell out of the sky and landed in the road by the van. I saw it out of the corner of my eye as I passed. I thought at first I had hit it as I could see it fluttering feebly in the gutter. I did the delivery, turned round and drove back, stopping at the point where I thought the bird was.Sure enough it was laying in the gutter. It appeared to be still breathing and not at all damaged so I picked it up and put it on the top of an electricity supply box. It was still warm and showed no sign of being hit by the van. I will stop and look tomorrow to see if it has gone - or perhaps gone on. Puts a crimp in the day as I remembered the old bible quote !
