Then all of a sudden, while I was looking, the bird just plummeted down to the ground in the midele of them. It looked quite comical and I had a little chuckle to myself.

When I got home I had a look at the front of the car. The headlight was cracked, the bonnet was dented, paint had chipped and there were entrails all over the front and down the side to the boot.

I bet that bird's ghost had a chuckle to itself when I got a bill for £300.
Thanks for sharing that with us, made me smile . If I see a crow next time I think I'll take to grass verge or the wrong side of the road and take my chances!!
