I'll do the update as a separate post above, as I'm not game to lose any more previous posts.

| The Sacred Kingfisher that hit my window |

| It was stunned for about 15 minutes |
At first I thought someone had thrown or hit a ball into my window.
I opened the front door to look and see what was happening (because the window is covered with a wooden blind, and sits behind a sofa bed) and to my surprise I see a little strange bird standing on the veranda with it's body facing one way and it's neck facing the other.
I thought it must have broken it's neck, and would surely die.
So I went inside to get a box to put it in, and to grab my camera (so I could show the wife what a strange bird it was).
I stayed with it for a good quarter of an hour, as it slowly seemed to regain consciousness (it was conscious when I first got to it, but it seemed to be quite dazed).
I took a few photos of it, and then opened the front door to get the box for it, but the noise of the door opening must have startled it, and it flew off.

I have never seen that type of bird around here before, and I haven't seen one since.
I didn't even know what type of bird it was.

I was trying to work out if this incident was some type of message for me, or not.
If it was, it went over the top of my head.

The message may not even be for me, it could be for somebody out there in blog-land reading this post and I'm just a messenger passing it on.
It seemed important for some subconscious reason I can't explain.
If there is no message there for anyone, at least I've got some cute bird pictures to show;-)

Update:
Here's a photo of the stain glass type sticker that I placed on the window, which the bird flew into.
