Have had a beautiful woodpecker visiting the nut feeder for weeks now. Today he flew into an upstairs window and broke his neck. Very sad, they are really beautiful birds.
What a shame.
When you consider that their necks must take a heck of a hammering, with all the wood pecking they do.
It must have been flying at quite a speed for it to break its neck, it makes me wonder if it was being chased and looking for somewhere to hide
:-( Foolish bird. Still I guess that is evolution in action. The individual is of no importance as long as the species change to instinctively not do that which risks premature death.
