death of a small green bird

This morning, a small green bird hit the window as I was eating my breakfast. I went out onto the balcony and spotted the thing lying dazed in one of the flower pots. I decided to leave it be, and checked back in an hour to find it gone. I suspect that it either recuperated and flew away, or was eaten by a gull (which I doubt, having not seen any gulls).

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
