Baby bird laying on side

Baby bird laying on side

Hello, long story short dog found this little guy and it's laying on its side wiggling one leg. I've put the dog away (she didn't touch it just sniffed it).

It continued wiggling its leg almost as if trying to get up so I righted it with a bit of paper but it appears intent on laying on its side. Didn't want to stress it out so stopped after first attempt.

It doesn't appear injured just laying on its side. Weather isn't great but it is mostly sheltered from wind in an alleyway next to house.

Cannot see a nest nor any adults watching.

I've just left it for now in the hopes parents will come get it but unsure if I should be contacting a wildlife rescue or not. Any suggestions?

UK based.

edit: Sadly it's passed now. Thanks for trying to help.
