So, Foccer's, had a bird strike today, a hard one, thought it was a pheasant so went back to retrieve it (mmm, lunch)
Noticed my speedo had stopped working but then started again, my fuel gauge mysteriously went down to quarter tank from 3/4's and my front indicators had stopped working. Also broke my n/s fairing infill.
The main strike was on the h/light cover then it glanced off and hit my knee.
Anyway, when I got back to the spot I had hit it, to my dismay it wasn't a pheasant but some kind of bird of prey.
Obviously I was a bit gutted to have hit such a beautiful bird but couldn't really identify what species it was.
Can anyone on here throw some light on this for me and identify it ?
