Riding to work

[fireblake]

On one early ride to work I rode down a narrow lane,  I was only doing 15 or 20mph as it was quite bendy.  I noticed something in the road at the edge of my light beam. as I got closer I realised it was an owl. Getting closer and it decides to take off. It's massive wing span suddenly fills the narrow lane and it attempts to fly directly upwards because of high banks and hedging.  I am slowing but still get a hefty smack in the visor from it's Talons which are holding some poor dead creature. Which itself left blood, entrails and excrement over my lid.
