Default Dead Bird Count! (or other critters)

Was having a mooch under the bonnet last weekend only to find two dead birds at the base of the radiator, just above the lower splitter!

Anyone beat that?

Trying for a third, plenty of hedgerows near me!

I mullered a Badger a few years ago

Was doing around 45-50mph down a country lane at around 2am, just cruising back from a friends, not mucking around, saw something come out of the bushes, way too late to slow down as it was only about 10metres in front of the car, then BANG!!!
Smashed the nearside foglight with it's head and cracked the bumper

Stopped and moved it out of the road, couldn't believe how heavy it was, made the entire car shake when I hit it, was expecting much more damage to be honest but the old girl held up really well...........which is more than I can say for the Badger!!

Really shook me up at the time, and the girlfriend spilt her Redbull over the dash as I slammed the brakes on, obviously not with her anymore

Had exactly the same two months ago. Hit a pheasant on a back B-road doing about 60 who decided to commit hari-kari by flying straight in front of me. He went through the foglight cover and cracked the bumper I pulled him out of the foglight recess when I got home 10 minutes later and he was still warm. Gave him to my neighbour who plucked him and had roast pheasant for tea Cost me over 400 squids to sort out the damage though - he obviously decided to go out with a bang
