Missed a few birds out in the country and one just missed me.
I stopped by the roadside to take phone call when I noticed a large hawk over head. It was just hovering there.
Suddenly it dived towards me and I thought it had seen something in the car with me. Luckily it picked up a small mouse just near me and took off.
- true or false
Have heard a story that a guy in an MGB was driving just over the border when he saw a large kangaroo on the side of the road.
He swears that as he passed the kangaroo it jumped out onto the road in front of him. It kept going and cleared his car and took off across a farm.
It was reported in the newspaper here and an expert on wildlife agreed that the kangaroo can easily jump up to 6 feet in height.
Guess it just jumped at the right time. Would have made a mess if it was on the ground in front.
Cheers
