'Protect the little things'

A girl is loosely holding onto a Goldcrest - the smallest British bird. She seems distracted. But the male Sparrowhawk isn't. It has the tiny bird fixed in its sights. A Tawny Owl, on silent wings, is moving into the scene. The cat is being affectionate but the top of its tail is twitching. Is the cat just being beguiling? How safe is the wee bird? And is the girl actually helping?
