His feathers are kind of straggley, like he's got a sweaty temperature. Whereas the other bird's feathers are smooth and neater.

How cold did it get last night? I've been shivering down Sarf since the weekend - I daresay it's a bit colder up in the Frozen Wastes past the wall.

The temp has dropped, definitely....I wouldn't have said it was that cold though.

Even if it was the cold that got them......seems odd 2 would be affected by the cold at the same time in the same spot.

I suspect P_O is right and this will remain a mystery.

2 fledglings roosting in the same rubbish, unsheltered spot?



I'm not happy, I want a nice CSI story arc where we all find out what happened at the end. And Gil Grissom.


Actually, just give me Grissom.

I don't think they were fledglings, I think they were adult birds. (I've just looked at the pic again and I don't think it conveys true size, I really should have laid a ruler down, but then that's going into tent territory. :rotfl:)

I'm not happy either. :rotfl:

I wasn't saying juvenile to mean fledgling. A juvenile is a young bird but without the defined feathers of an adult. Its possible being younger they were not experienced enough to find a good warm place to roost.
