Sad end to the story.

Not an happy ending sadly. I got up at 1pm and could hear a noise from box so at least it had survived the night, I looked in side and it was still lop sided but perky, after me porridge took it outside in box and told it there were at least two dozen of its mates feeding at front. Opened box and took it out placed near the water dish and it just fell over, picked it up and tried giving it a drink but it wasn't interested, left it be and went inside.  Watched its mates on feeders etc for a while but they took no notice. Two hours later I heard the magpie's calling , their brood must be getting bigger . 

At 15:30 the sparrow was still there but at 15:45 it had gone! Assume either the magpie or cat got it. I did my best for it but that's nature it would provide a meal for something.

I don't think you're soft at all John. Anyone with the slightest ounce of compassion would do the same. Anyone who is a birder, and uses this site will be more than aware how cruel nature can be, so offering any help to injured birds (or animals) would only be applauded in my estimation.
