The Duncan 802 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 And didn't feel a thing. The daft git swooped down and picked up half a dead bunny, then took off in the path of my vehicle. No chance to swerve and at 50 odd mph there was a pretty hefty BANG and I saw him spiral off to the verge in my door mirror. Years ago, I'd have been mortified, but following their success story they are bloody everywhere! Especially across the front of my mirror support lol! Anyway, Alex Hogg would be happy to know there's one less to worry about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tegater 789 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Same thing nearly happened to me yesterday driving down the A525 towards Ruthin. Two off them flew low from over a hedge and were that close I was convinced I was going to hit the front one. It must happen quite regular as there was one dead at the side of the same stretch of road a few days ago. Bet you get a lot of lookers at this thread with the title you've put up!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Duncan 802 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 HEHEHEHE, with any luck lol Tegater! I've seen a few roadkill buzzards in the last few weeks too, and the thought crosses my mind that I hope no-one thinks it was killed by gamekeepers/shooters etc. Sad we end up thinking like that.
