“I saw him as I was walking to the church and he told me he’d left the doors open – we’ve had quite a few birds getting in recently,” she said.
“I said I’d search for it. And when I entered I heard a fluttering sound. At initially I believed it lagged the organ, in which case we couldn’t have actually done anything for it.
“Then a little face poked out of the pipeline. So I called Richard and said ‘I’ve discovered the bird’.
“We understood the pipeline was kept in location by some string that was rather high up. I constantly bring my late grandpa’s old pen knife so I connected it to a length of dowling and cut the string.
“We took it outside, carefully turned it upside down and it flew off quite happily.”
