Sad - came back from shopping to find this dead bird... 14 Years, 6 Months ago

So beautiful; does anyone know what kind of bird it is? Chaffinch? Fabulous white shoulders; gorgeous light green and grey feathers.

I'm lucky in that many different kinds of birds are attracted to our tiny courtyard, full of trees and leaves and berries and branches.

So sad. Beautiful creature. Perhaps the result of an encounter with a pussy cat? Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I can see no obvious damage at all; it's almost as though it's sleeping. Completely wonderful; magnificent subtle plumage of white, brown, light green, yellow and grey and the white feathers on the shoulders are so fluffy and soft. Anyway, off to see Michael Jackson to cheer myself up. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Poor bird. Looks as though it flew into a window or was hit by a car. There is usually no obvious sign of damage. I must admit I've never seen those markings before.

Emma - spot on I reckon (my neighbours on the corner have huge tall picture windows) and my brother Andy identifies it as a chaffinch and gives this link to its delightful song... Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Ooh. Those white shoulders threw me off. They must not normally be as visible. I only tend to see them on the feeder from a distance. Beautiful bird. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
