A distressingly large number of birds used to collide with the glass until I got some cut-outs of falcon silhouettes and placed them around and on the glass doors, which seemed to warn them off. It always made a terrible bang, as if a golden eagle had been travelling at warp speed, but it just turned out to be a blackbird or thrush. There was not often have a happy ending like yours...

For 10 minutes she sat there, whilst I chatted to her (!), slowly becoming more aware and active, before pulling herself together and disappearing in a flash of blue. The orange on the lower bill is the thing that defines her as female - she has her "lippy" on."Will you shut up"? Probably.
Walking can be dangerous and all walkers must take personal responsibility for their own safety. You should always carry a backup means of navigation and not rely on a single phone, app or map.
