Any guesses about who had an unscheduled momentary landing on our window? Wingspan c70cm, so my guess is a magpie or other corvid.  |

One from a few years back with a 100mm macro lens. Think it was just learning to fly and needed a wee rest.  |

I don't think it is a wood pigeon. Size is right but I think the wing tips on a pigeon are more swept back, not that I can find anything to justify that feeling. |

We've had a few pigeon impacts too, but the wing shape is smoother whereas this one is a bit more angular. |

You are obviously on a flight path.

You are obviously on a flight path. We have a similar problem living near Heathrow.
Though at least we've never had one fly into a window...

2 of the regular sights on many of my walks. The dippers seem to be making a fair racket the noo. |

I see that this has been through PS elements a few times. I had not realised how good elements could be in the mind of a skilled user. |
