The Animals Have Gone Mad

A strange thing happened to me on the way into the office this morning….

Almost sounds like the start of a cheesy joke.

But. Seriously. Driving into work this morning I got into a game of chicken with a Magpie, and almost lost. (It ended in a draw)

Driving along the welsh countryside, slowly making my way to the office, and I came across some birds in the middle of the road. Now the site of a car zooming along towards them, did what it always does and the birds scattered. Apart fromĀ  ONE! this one just turned to face the car, and stared at me…

So as the distance got shorter and shorter I kept expecting the bird to flee. but it just stood staring at me. Then Woosh, The car went over the bird, And I looked in the rear view mirror to see if it escaped, and there it was, standing in the same place, it shook the exhaust fumes off its body as it turned to keep staring at me.

Was very strange.
