lots of birds about on a sunny warm day.

Yesterday one of our cats caught this wren and brought it in the house, thinking it was dead (I presume). When he put it down, it flew off and eventually hid behind a bookcase, which muggins here had to move to rescue the little fella.
Amazed how calm it was. I carried it, like this, out to a large rose shrubbery away from the house and, after I put it down, it sang and then flew off. It wasn't quivering or seemingly bothered by me.

Don't usually see many wrens. Hear a good number of them but difficult to see, being so small and fond of hiding.

Japan in winter birding is tough but rewarding.

A lazuli bunting is trying to fight his reflection in my kitchen window. I put cardboard up inside the window, but he could still see himself. I put cardboard up outside the window, but I couldn't reach the top edge, even on a stepladder, so I expect it to fall down soon.
I ordered some paracord to make a visual barrier. Will that prevent a bird trying to fight its reflection? Any other suggestions?
Here he is hanging out on the screen, looking for his rival.
