Coal tit

He hit the window pane,
fluttered, twitched
   and then lay still.
I cupped him in my hands
warmed him, wished him well
   and watched him fly away.

    This looks very like what we in Canada call a black-capped chickadee. I'm so glad he recovered. I hate when they hit the window-panes; it breaks my heart.

    Beautiful. I had this happen to me once with a wren. It is so humbling.

    Poor little thing! They hit with such force, it's a shame. Good picture though!!! xx
