The message
from Kay Easton contains these words:

After I'd searched the room for half an hour, I finally spotted it
regarding me from just beside the radiator.

It then ducked under a low table with table cloth hanging to the floor
all around and various boxes underneath. It was very quiet and non
panicky and let me catch it by coming towards it with a fold of the
cloth and quietly putting my other hand over its back. So we took it
outside where it fluttered up into the hedge.

I don't have high hopes of it - I don't think it should have been that
easy to catch. But we've done our best by it.

Glad to hear you got him out safely.

Robins seem almost fearless. I've often had them pottering around so
close it's a wonder they don't get stepped on or dug in. Young ones even
hop around the cats :-(
