I spent an hour the other night crying over a bumble bee that we tried to save.

I'm so very sorry to hear of the starling, but as you say, we have to concentrate on those that did make it and our garden is teeming with babies at the moment which is a real delight.

Absolutely!!! and you have your very own understanding support group right on hand here!! What more could you ask for!! My lip wobbled for the little damselfly I saw emerged with no wings and for the dead Fox cub by the side of the road...
It's life, often not pretty but always rich, always the good to focus on to distract from the good - maybe even a hundred damsels emerged from that pond just fine and maybe the other Fox cubs learnt a very valuable lesson
