Close encounter


Crash Override

Recommended Posts

I wish I had a camera fitted to the car this morning.

I was on my way home from work early this morning and nearly home just blating along the local country lane, when I rounded a corner and bl**** hell sat in the road on a rabbit was a huge Buzzard. I took evasive action onto the other side of the road and it had only just stretched its wings out to take off as I was going by it.

That was a close one, just imagine the mess of my car that would have made if I had hit it. Can you get into any trouble for killing a bird of prey?

Only if it's A) on the endangered list, and B) only if you get spotted/reported, or own up to it :devil:

I don't think UK buzzards are endangered...

Thanks Blatman, that was a super quick search.

However, it does turn up in the most unexpected localities, and it is as well to acquaint ourselves with it.
You can say that again.

It's lucky I missed it then, I shall have to watch out for it again.
