Missing

FGW's 43191 leads 1C84 13.03 Paddington to Penzance past Little West Barn Farm at North Brewham.

 

The powercar has suffered a bird strike somewhere along the journey from the capital, it's strange how so many of the flying fowl actually seem to aim for plum centre of an HST, right between the lights.

 

I like to be as meticulous as possible with these things so having consulted Sir David Attenborough, Chris Packham, the RSPB, the Natural History Museum and Eric Cantona to identify the airborne assailant I can say with the utmost confidence that the avian antagonist is (or rather was) Columba palumbus - the Common Wood Pigeon.

 

Ironically, Hull's musical duo 'Everything but the Girl' had their biggest hit single with 1994's "Missing"- Ironic because in this image the dastardly Dove was missing everything but the Grill.

 

Thank you, thank you, I'm here til Friday, don't forget to tip your waitresses!
