Aladinsaneuk's meeting with a feisty bird

I've just heard from Pete that he had a chance meeting with a rather feisty bird.
Apparently it was a brief affair but she left quite an impact.
During the encounter she took out some flashers before setting about his fairing - and he's not sure whether it can be saved.
I understand she departed in a bit of a state.
I'm happy to report that Pete's constipation has been cured

Probably hurt less than if he was caught hitting on a human one.

Not too bad . At least it wasnt a Pheasant or an Ostrich.

Ouch
Arnica for the hand and shoulder -- and physio if you can get it, I had a good few months of physio to get my shoulder back in order after the pheasant strike 'cos I ignored it initially and it froze up.
