A frightened bird stays still all night

This bird was perched on the wiper of a car windscreen on Tuesday evening.

S/he was still there on Wednesday at 06.15. After some gentle coaxing and the offer of tiny pieces of food s/he moved to a nearby railings.

Some minutes later s/he was gone.

S/he had been on that wiper all night and obviously had not moved one metre.

S/he looked scared.

What happened, where did s/he go?

Some moments after s/he had disappeared three pigeons were hovering about near the car.

Life is strange, fragile too, and mysterious.
