Friday 18 June 2010 Bird Strike

Working away yesterday gently wrestling Apache Ivy and Sonatype Nexus, there was an almighty thump on my window. This is not a usual occurance on the ground floor, but when you're three floors up it's unheard of. I was, as you might imagine, slightly startled.

Recovering myself, I realised it must have been a bird strike. Flicking the blind aside reveals a dazed and confused blackbird fledgling, trying to gathering himself.
Dazed and confused young blackbird.
