Media notes

This little fella flew into the lounge window of my house, mid January. My lounge terrace sits 15 feet above our pond and is surrounded on 3 sides by 600 feet of wetland and woodland (broadleaved, Cypress and evergreen trees) before arriving at our boat dock beyond the trees. I expect he was after his next meal and missed it as we have bird feeders everywhere. He was unhurt and flew off about 4 - 5 minutes later.
