Terrible birding moment

Sorry to here, Val.

Marian(  posted a
thread this week on ozbirdpix saying that she has had two Bassian Thrushes
in her care in the past week with damaged tail feathers. This is the first
time she has ever seen these birds, and has had two in the last week!

A follow up posting mentioned that they
migrate around this time of year.

They seem to be particularly accident
prone during this years migration...i wonder if there is a particular reason
for this???

Subject	[BIRDING-AUS] Terrible birding moment

I've just experienced my worst birding moment.

Whilst sitting inside I heard a very loud noise as a bird bounced off the
window.   Went outside and found a Bassian Thrush with a broken neck.
 It is
only the second I have seen in my yard since I moved here 8 years ago.
