Spare a Thought ..

This is not a good time of year for these unfortunate (and very stupid) birds! Not only are they shot at by a load of Hooray Henry's but if they happen to go for a wander about, it is very likely they will be squished by any passing vehicle. I am lucky enough to work in a small village and travel through some lovely countrside on the way but the amount of roadkill this time of year brings is just amazing. I don't know who teaches these birds their road safety but it's fairly apparent that they have no idea whatsoever regarding just how heavy and hard modern vehicles are!! You think you're doing the right thing to avoid hitting one of these lovely birds and BAAM! The silly b*st*rd runs back the other way, giving you a snowballs chance in hell of avoiding feathery tires and a sickly feeling! So far this year I have managed to avoid them but you just know there's one out there with your name on it!
Back soon ..
