On the 12th of May 2011 I was doing the school run and rushing to go and pick up my daughters from school. I was in a rush as I was running a bit late. As I walked to the school a tiny sparrow suddenly flew right past me. It flew so close to me that I thought it would crash into me.
The Sparrow then sat on a fence next to where I stood. It was so close to me that I must have only been an arms length away from the little bird. It just sat there and looked up at me tweeting away merrily. I said, "Hello, little fella, and how are you today?" The little sparrow was not afraid and he just chirped back at me happily. I stood chatting to the little bird for a good 2-3 minutes before saying, "Right little Mr, I must be on my way now.
Thank you for the chat." Then I hurried off to pick up my girls from school. The little sparrow was still there on the fence watching me as I hurried away. I turned round several times and he did not fly away. Such a beautiful experience!
