My hand, was cleaning the car and noticed a little leaf so thought I would grab it. Put my hand in and nooooooooo couldn't get it out, big gash across my wrist was the result. Bit like the curtain ring.....but that's another story

Someone posted a pic of a half toasted blue tit on here last year.

Top side was little blue and yellow feathers and the underside was a flat chargrilled mess

Unhappy

Last winter had a bit of a bad kebab smell in the car everytime the car got warm.... damn awful smell.....


Finally when I could be arsed took a look under the bonnet.....


Fried hedgehog on the turbo......... how ****e did I feel...

Felt pretty crappy about that one..... wife even refused to ride in the car!
The smell lasted forever... haunting me with guilt!

Not nice..... really not nice.....

Obviously didn't come through the scoop!

Plums.

Plenty of Pigeons in the radiator grill - damn things fly up then right at me.

The only thing I've found in the scoop is the head off a Chaffinch - no body just the head.....
