Bluddy hell! A buzzard flying straight into a french window makes one heck of a bang. Frightened me half to death.

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.

Don’t it just! 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

Do we mention sparrer hawks in here? We wouldn’t want to make anyone nervous, would we?

I thought of not mentioning sparrer hawks but then I thought of our sparrer’s bruvver and dropped some copper coins in the sparrowhawk preservation charity box

And a damaged window, by the look of it. Ours remained intact.

Indeed.
Whinge alert…
Never mind - builders and their delays/illnesses between Embra and here - much too boring for words. We took ourselves off to Musselburgh for a scrummy meal (scallops were involved) by way of justice and one ovvus had a naice whaite (hic).
