Default Stop the pigeon

Did anybody see the pigeon get obliterated when it landed on track today, feathers everywhere, didn't see which car actually hit it.

I think the draft from the cars passing over the duration of the session moved it closer to the edge of the track

Didnt see the incident yesterday, but Ive hit a pigeon before doing about 70mph in a granada cosworth and it just exploded the poor guy in the van behind had to brake quite hard as he couldnt see for all the feathers everywhere, and the only evidence of the impact on the car was one stray feather on the head light wiper arm, which i was happily surprised about.

Can just imagine the first pigeon going back to the others. "Dave's been in an accident" "He was hit by a Series 1 RS Turbo" Then a voice from the back says "Oh yeah. I used to have one of them back in the day"
