Goosed!

Peasholme Park in Scarborough plays host to a variety of birds. Common residents are Canada Geese who fly in for the summer. In the lower photo, some geese are being fed just to the left of the green dragon pedalo boat.
Their route home is from the lake and out over the North Sea through the gap between the trees just above the same green dragon pedalo boat.
What is not immediately obvious (especially to the geese) is the tall 'Sands Apartments' development which has been constructed recently and which, unfortunately, is now right in their flightpath.
The first photo shows the impact points of at least 12 geese who weren't paying attention and who flew into the side of the building, whilst giving it maximum flap & squawk, resulting in varying degrees of death.
