Ooh, that looks good. Almost worth it. The buzzard seemed to be fine after a couple of minutes recovery time btw, though it has left a very artistic looking dusty impression on the window, complete with upward-curving outstretched wings. ---

Well, ours was a peregrine, which hit the glass pigeon-first and stunned itself, staggered around on the stoep for a bit plucking feathers from said dead pigeon for all the world like a cat that has fallen off something and is trying to make you believe that it meant to do that, and eventually flew off with its lunch. ---

I had a sparrer hawk doing the head butting of the double glazing and landing on its back It sounded like a gunshot I was torn between seeing if the bird was hurt or taking cover as I was still in RUC mode and a bit nervous of loud bangs nearby ---
