Spring-time wildlife woes!

[mercboiuk]

Yesterday, I took the Merc out for a pleasent jolly along a Norfolk A-Road.
The weather was perfect, all windows were dropped and the traffic was light.
That is unit, while I'm plodding a long, a bird flies out in front of me and disappears out of sight. No feathers behind me, so I carry on, believing I'm missed it.

When I reach home, I find the poor little blighter met his end being wedged by the side of my (undamaged) grill

With the pleasent spring wether, has anyone else had any near misses with their local fauna?

Sunday a bird played chicken with me. I thought it would move as they normally do, but sadly did not. I presume it must have been ill/broken to not have done so.

Few years ago also came over a very low brow of a hill, to find it was (just) hiding a family of ducklings crossing the road. A line of them spread from one side to the other, had absolutely nowhere to go to avoid them. Still feel guilty, even though there was nothing I could do.

That photo needs a caption, or better still a speech bubble. Something like "Burp!"

I take it your motor was a bit, err, peckish?

What sort of bird is it?

Hopefully not a rare Great Reed Warbler that has just flown all the way from Africa.

couple of years ago i was driving to work (4am start) and was just going from an unlit area to one with street lights when something came almost all the way through my windscreen (laminated) , covering me in little shards of glass, i thought someone had chucked something at me, in day light you could makeout brown feathers, so im assuming it was an owl.

Another bird on the grill - it must be barbecue season...
