  Can you remember what they are called and where you got them from please wild edges?

  Have a look on Google, search for 'bird anti-collision window stickers' - loads of pretty ones on A.....zon

  Thanks Jenny_Aster, will do. I have the black hawk silhouettes but I think I need something to beef up protection

  Thanks Jenny_Aster. Will read it more fully later, just off out. I see it's an American website but hopefully it will give some info for over here.

  I went to my parent's house on the weekend and they've covered their windows in UV stickers that are all different leaf shapes. It looked quite attractive having 5 or 6 smaller stickers on each pane of glass, almost like an intentional frosting. More decorative than just one big sticker in the middle.
  

  If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

  There's a robin singing away outside. It's almost midnight

  Nice male Brambling in the garden today. Taken through double-glazing.
  
  
  
  And still loads of Siskins. Messy feeders but at least they eat the seeds they've spilled. Bullfinch cashing in as well.

  Was the brambling ok? It looks like it's showing signs of trichomoniasis.

  Who is this robin trying to impress with his midnight serenade? I'm not fluent in robin but the song seems to say 'turn off this damn LED streetlight, I can't sleep with it on.'
