Very often it's when blue sky and clouds are reflecting off the glass. Obviously the bird can't see the glass, just the reflection.

‘I feel I’ve made a mark’: the man who built homes for 60,000 swifts
Retired salesman John Stimpson was so moved by the cries of birds unable to find nests, he decided to act. Now he has made enough boxes to house half the UK’s swifts
Great story. I hope that if I can ever retire I will still be active in something like this.

I hope this fella gets recognised for what he`s done.
Just goes to show the impact one man can make.
Yeah incredible legacy. Got a bit emotional reading it.
Same here, such an ordinary humble fella.

What a great story. That’s right, we should never underestimate the impact any of us can make to improve our world. Very admirable of him for wanting to make a difference!
My KOI Carp would eat that, lot in 5 minutes......
Spring has definitely sprung
Saw plenty frogspawn this morning and fresh green shoots and buds are everywhere. I love this time of year.

We`ve got a Blackbird building a nest in the garden and I`m sure the Robin`s have already got a nest tucked away somewhere, at the back of a load of ivy, but I don`t want to disturb them,by looking for it !

Yes we get that quite often with birds smacking into the window with a sparrowhawk in hot pursuit. Usually it's a pigeon but sometimes young starlings. Pigeons sometimes do it when chasing each other as well. All bar one have flown away apparently unscathed.
Not uncommon for the sparrowhawk to be successful though.
Decided to do some much needed clearing of the overgrown ivy in my garden today and I came across this!!

Over the garden yesterday what I thought was a hawk chasing a Herring gull but it turned out to be a Ring Necked parakeet , took this photo about 6 weeks ago . (Wirral)
I believe there are thousands in London .

They’re everywhere in South Liverpool mate - Sefton Park, Calderstones Park etc
I had read Liverpool had them but wasn't sure whereabouts , I think Glasgow has a big colony , must like city parks .
