heavy traffic

The chicken made it, the Pukeko did not.

[Rachel]

They all run into the road here too, though I've never seen a dead one...until now.

[Jane Pittenger]

Yikes

[Ali P]

Its mate will be very sad...

[☠northy]

😢

[Graeme Stevens]

@northy Indeed.
@alinz I would think so :(
@jgpittenger That's one way of putting it.
@888rachel Don't often see them lying about like this...

[Taffy]

Sort of heartbreaking at the moment.

[Graeme Stevens]

@taffy Just a touch...if it helps, there's about 12 of these birds living on the wetland over the way from my house and they're all quite happy :)

[haskar]

A strong photo. A man's work!

[Paul]

Hard to look at. Hard to look away. Poor little thing.

[Lynda McG]

So sad - but makes an intriguing image!

[Graeme Stevens]

@lyndamcg It is, it does...thanks very much :)
@paul10 I briefly considered procuring another skull...
@haskar Thanks very much :)

[tony gig]

That's part of life, we call it road kill, and sometimes put it in the pot, but I think its far to flat for the pot Graeme.

[john morley]

sad, but of such things are life made..

[Helen Jane]

a sorry affair.

[Rose]

ooo dear .. rather annoying birds lol

[Suzanne]

So the other 12 didn't much like him then? A very sorry sight :(

[Graeme Stevens]

@suzanne234 A sorry sight but if they'd only look both ways...
@silverhorn I don't mind them...but they're not good eating ;)
@helenhall Indeed it is.
@jack4john Absolutely, the circle of life and all that.
@tonygig It's more of a feathered pancake really...

[Marnie]

Pity it tried to cross the road.

[Graeme Stevens]

@golftragic It should have looked both ways...

[Marnie]

@graemestevens Yep, just goes to show the teacher sometimes knew best.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oops! Road kill!

[Graeme Stevens]

@jamibann Lets cook it...or not

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

We have the same problem here with suicidal pheasants. :(

[Graeme Stevens]

@swillinbillyflynn Peasants.
