Mark H | Simple Mark. Smashed through the front grill. The bird ended up behind a side panel, at first I didn't see it but the smell of roasting partridge soon got me to look further!
£85 for the grill, that's fine but the labour to fit it?
I haven't had it done yet. It's not a safety issue so I'm leaving it. Knowing my luck the moment I have it done another one would do the same trick!  |

That`s extremely unlucky Graham, a bird of that size doing such damage. Hope you get it sorted...

Oh dear Graham
They do seem to enjoy running instead of flying |

When I first saw it it was at the side of the road. Just as I approached it it ran out and then tried to take off, hence how it managed to hit the grill. I hate killing anything wild, but there was nothing I could do. |

Saw a Kingfisher yesterday flying along the River Teme yesterday in Ludlow and then the Goldcrest that I had on my finger a few weeks back, returned to dip in a brook 2ft away from me down at Naomi's House!
