Imagination? During the course of the period, I heard it another couple of times. I called the Janitor, who came and we had a look but no sign of anything. Ten minutes or so later there was a very distinctive cheep! Mice don&#8217;t cheep. Lifting a roof tile, I peered in to see a bird.<\/p>\n<p>The other Janitor came with a step ladder and after about 20 minutes we had &#8216;persuaded&#8217; the bird to drop into the library. After some fluttering about it perched a plant, then dropped to the floor. The Janitor caught it and it was safely released, although somewhat tired looking outside.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FS<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-311\" title=\"100_11641\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/or\/public\/stromnessacademylibrary\/uploads\/sites\/654\/2009\/03\/100_11641.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"100_11641\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/or\/public\/stromnessacademylibrary\/uploads\/sites\/654\/2009\/03\/100_11641.jpg 448w, https:\/\/glow-prod-or.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/or\/public\/stromnessacademylibrary\/uploads\/sites\/654\/2009\/03\/100_11641-300x225.jpg?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&amp;X-Amz-Security-Token=IQoJb3JpZ2luX2VjEKn%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2FwEaCWV1LXdlc3QtMSJHMEUCIFPg627nKaql%2FxZ9DDVV2p%2Fx2ND6lzh%2FV%2FFaAjxwkkPqAiEAh4auyYyaUkIMhjeSegs4wgQzXWXcONhDvx2zOGsRxOUquQUIchAFGgwyNzM1NzAxOTU0MzMiDH1Yu8CJPzhka60HoyqWBQ1osWvCMT4Bu23NkplwQCy593VkyN3cadRjXdkDKHQkN7eM%2Fhk9Q%2B7QCOfAtlG6KHDMov%2BK2Opbao%2FIEzWG8xetAdxJL3cQxXz1VME9kFxaGVx9KKZqvy4E4d%2B2cdI6Od1YylhVncWRbMn7WCobyRpWjOP14cNS8IZ0PVO3MjKgVUnw84nyoevPpd283rUbYd4xKWyLPDxwSODq13PxuGGVWE%2FXDsasAQ22CeAOZ2iWY1ggMp%2FRo0%2F0ZlOEKpKI3%2FdTnIHYKccWF%2FKtngBjh%2FkzfYZc%2FVx%2BInomeJ65pCBlGxlNF6brYulRC1MiBoQzb3eUIu6QLyJUS8anAs3QGYHUuCuJX0PhCmk0yJzbh105wWUVwtreF50Yxx2Vr3alMTskXpyfFtVaZtLd9RWah%2FpEGjZOAi4C6Q58E6v0lQ1knU1tUEueFEou%2F1EJ1pSzWWzhHxkyv%2BOj1XfdDrCayXPUYy6gcRtWupaMu45irfcG4JkYb4lGpTGvztpxZ9wDkZ5X3wC5Y%2F2bfMojlDjny2pOAT7rp9fsDr0X224G0iqg0YibgomdDIHJof2FGG%2F4zgQo3r8m8AdyuO6VVEBre6BZxtPCfPuoL%2Fsq7eSbVBFbf41olK3gsyFk3aZz1%2FilVmUl%2BaRoygbrWHkutBj3VmNj1jEKDt06MxmTGnsnWqg9bNk1GNvRqYtBEdMg4hfA8DJfPsHnm8QrZrlGjxJbr2hkufKGCVtHytEGogNKAIcW9BHc4915LFCSas%2BHnXiGQJwgXpszlr024ZHJQAACchNhOTzaYGmsDCquvQTXLG89A3u1c7K5wyxub6WjtDTZ%2BSJnOxhNyMjf0aitBA6GxbSM8HA7N1WS%2Briz2JDYPd2WPrcdVHZrMID1i9EGOrEBvz8DLbr9%2BtQSLB%2BmmMOtRoRbHi7UCCf4%2BtdKTFNwgAXnkEYz5vEmj9a1a%2BN7LnwnYZaCU4W%2BtbBKc8Wz0m39I1TpwM90NAO3M3OgzEL6ZYhjv2zsdjjsFLK2g98uJA7b9WcNkQp88P3qaAdIOPXKof7D%2BCe0tOa%2BrEOxFTdEDl768EYVYSRG5ECfEa7uMmSwEMzrMgTrXSceGYXNhUPaXAz%2F23iYF9%2BNlL%2FFejnIeapq&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=ASIAT7MQN47UWGZPLVS7%2F20260605%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260605T173054Z&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-Signature=cd385e2f3d7bfea47f98e41eec79e7ea32e82677002d2d66ae6f9040683011fa 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was sitting at my desk and thought that I heard the patter of tiny rodent feet in the suspended ceiling above me.
