Maybe shouldn’t have got the windows cleaned 😧 🤍 Last light over Black Bridge, Cork, 🇮🇪 #photography #nature #birds #birdstrike #PhotoHour #spéirghorm #EastCoastKin #ECK 🐕 🚶📱 📸 📷 🐦 🪶

A ghostly imprint of a bird that struck a glass window, with the bird’s body and feathers outlined in pale residue. The 🤍 shaped feather looks like the bird’s heart exited its body and impaled itself on the window.
