suicidal birds

Down in this neck of the woods its bunny and pheasant squishing season.

It's harder to miss them than hit the little beggers.

Pheasants are just soooo dumb last 2 i've hit just stopped in middle of the road turned round and looked me....

roadkill ftw

I got it sussed now, so if it's safe I stop and edge forward, so I don't kill them.

2 weeks ago one stopped in the middle of the road.  I stopped.  It stared at me.  I stared at it.

It started walking to the left hand side of the road, so I edged round it to the right.

Then another car came round the bend.  So I sped up a bit to keep in front of it.

Stupid bird, which is now safely at the side of the road, panics, and charges straight out under the oncoming car.

I've been driving for 13 years, but in recent months I've noticed that there seems to be a hell of a lot of suicidal birds on the road.  It's never happened to me before this year, but so far I'd estimate something like 10 birds have swooped down and flown directly in front of my car when I've been driving at speed. 

Hopefully you take the recommended break every 3/4 hours to avoid tiredness?

Just giving this post the love it deserves. xxx
