Pheasant suicide

[fazersharp]

It was a tough old bird though not great eating

Having to ring its neck TWICE should of gave you a heads up on that one. !!
I think what happends is that on a bike with our loud exhausts it startals the critters and we are on them so fast that they get caught up. I think pidgeons are the main offender as they are indeed stupid and fly low over the road, somtimes along the hedge row and then across you. If I see one zig zagging I always give it a blast of me horn and if they are flying across the road there are mostly two of them. The nearest ive got is around a rounabout ( thats turning right) take a quick left extit and then have to duck at the same time as a pidgeon flew at me, and that was one move , twist too many and just pulled somthing in my back. From riding my bike I even duck now when im in my car
