The sun was very low in the sky when it happened, I wonder if there were some strange reflections from our neighbours conservatory.

In 7 years of living here in the U.K. (Northern Cotswolds) we've never had a bird strike.

Had one young blackbird decide to come in the house and take a perch on our bookcase. One squab wood pigeon in the shed. And a blue tit that flew in the upstairs bathroom window. All instances, resolved with healthy birds back outside.

Maybe put up an Owl (fake) or pic of an Owl to keep them from smacking into the house? SWBTATTReg Apr 2021 #1

That's too bad. The blue tit* is a close relative of the chickadee, Ocelot II Apr 2021 #2
