Sort of correct J...

Close...
Closer...
Here it was and yes I was...
It WAS a Wood Pigeon at, sort of 70mph (big ish), on the A1 northbound day before yesterday... :shrug:
Made I jump and spread a few feathers on the road behind but I didn't actually see it land or carry on flying...
Thanx a lot for playing...

It could have done...
... but I did see it coming... I just could not afford to take avoiding action at the (legal) speed I was travelling at on such a busy stretch of road... :shrug:
The followers might had wondered what on earth was going on as they drove through a cloud of wood pig feathers though...

This is what happens when you hit a dog at 70mph Dog At 70mph Lucky Dog
..."There he managed to cling on until the car eventually stopped - 15 miles later." ...WTF...

Pigeons ( like most birds I guess) tend to rise at the first sign of danger
and there breast (feathers) are pretty much like armour compared to a lot of others
( against a no.6 anyway)
I am sure CT will bare that out
I have had the odd one or two fly into my screen over the years and they just leave a grease mark up the screen.
The smaller birds tend to disintegrate I guess they just don't have the "lift" :shrug:

I reckon it was the cushioning effect of the increased airflow over the rakish angle of the screen that helped...
And what Chris said...
