This little guy hit a window while I was outside gardening. They were stunned for quite a while - I sat quietly nearby - but eventually flew off to join the rest of the family. As they recovered they perched on a fallen twig.
Short of plastering stickers and sun catchers over every square inch of the windows I don’t know how to stop birds flying into them.
I wanted to get a picture of a puffin with the mountains in the background instead of the sea. Without a wide-angle lens, this was the best I could pull off lol. I'm still kind of proud of it, though.

Mr Trevelyan said: "Those who know me well know I was eventually going to build a giant curlew.”
