    Nearly had a visitor indoors the other day. It was only the double glazing that stopped it.
    You can clearly see on these two pictures an inprint of a large bird after a collision with the glass.

    This one is for real Nathan.
    Happened the other night and we heard the noise and HID reckoned there was someone in the house. Nothing there when I checked and it was only today I spotted the impressions!

    We get the pigeons crashing into our kitchen window.
    They leave a mark just like that.
    When the kitchen door is open they must think they can fly through the glass and the kitchen up the hall and out the front,as the window is opposite the front door.
    Stupid birds.:lollol:

    Where I used to work we had a duck crash through a window into a laboratory....You can imagine the chaos that produced with all the glass in the lab. It was crazy.....
