After my recent experience of getting a pheasant nearly through my radiator another suicide bird had a go today.

Whilst travelling close to the legal limit, and making good progress on B-road somewhere in NE Scotland a pheasant jumped out from a hedge and hit the car. It as, frankly, comical, a true demonstration of Snell's law (the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection) and the ill-fated bird sped off and a VERY HIGH VELOCITY over the hedge sans many feathers and body parts.

Thank The Almighty for my headlamp protectors on my trusty MY00 classic. Without the "pheasant guards" I would be facing a big bill, as it is I only have to replace the headlamp guards.

Lesson:If you have not got headlamp guards, fit 'em now.


I await the next unprovoked pheasant attach with interest, but expect fewer attacks, as it is of course the closed season.

Enjoy the pheasant, Si James has culinary tips after a similar cull

Regret said pheasant was shot faster than a missile from Saddam's super-gun. Hence no caserole etc.

Yup, agree 100% there.... I've had mine on for about 6 months and judging by the cracks that have appeared in them, I would have had to replace about 4 headlights

Ain't pheasants attempting Hari-Kari but Suicidal Bambis that seem to haunt my local twisties

Bloody pheasants make sheep look intelligent!

Agree, they deserve to be roasted!
