Metal ring: MUSEUM ZOOLOG. HELSINKI FINLAND. Species, gender & age are best guesses - I'm no ornithologist, but Finland?? No attempt to fly, no sounds, no sign of physical injury, alert but unresponsive. Stroked the back of her head but she did not attempt to move away. Half-hearted attempt to eat a small piece of raw meat. Occasionally moved a metre or so when no-one looking. First noticed mid-morning, died late-afternoon, no obvious distress at any stage.
Beautiful bird - 5 photos here:
