This female GSW was one of my regular Great spot.visitors to my feeder up until a few days ago. Sadly over the course of her last day, she made repeated attempts to fly up to, but was obviously too weak to land, always falling short, then crashing into the shrubs below.
There she followed a short rest before her final last ditch attempt, then upon landing she would appear to doze off for perhaps c10 minutes at a time...clearly not long for this world!
What intrigues are the grey epaulettes!, a co-incidence, or a mark of the ageing process, perhaps most birds don't live long enough to show any ageing to any white feathering....stumped for an explanation?
Cheers
