Re: Question for a bird expert

We have the occasional window strike, some fatal - but the goldcrest I showed in the pics in message 3 above was definitely not crashing into the glass, hoping to fly beyond it. The door is only 3 feet away from the tall hedge on the opposite side of the path, and the bird spent a long time perched on the door handle or flutttering up and down against the glass of the door. It did this off and on for a couple of weeks - as shown by the mess on the doorstep..
