Winter Solstice

It was windy and cold and when home storm Pia suddenly reached its peak... it sounded like rain and hail came thro' the glass windows; I was glad being indoors. And when sliding my sofa aside to catch something from behind it, I found a dead little bird lying there (see extra).... how could that have happened?! After a while I imagined that it has fallen down the chimney, what's out of use and stumbled on my floor, till it found its death; all happening while I wasn't home; what peculiar happening. 

Thank you all lots for your reactions and ** of recent! Much appreciated.
