More Wind

I remember what I was going to add to my earlier posting. During the wind I saw birds being blown backwards as they were trying to fly. It was quite mesmerising.

During the worst part Karen heard a really loud bang from upstairs. She found nothing that had fallen down and looked out of the window. Whilst doing this, she noticed some strange marks on the window. One of our footballs was in the garden but nobody was around to have kicked it. She went outside and found the cause - a pigeon had been blown off course so hard that it had hit the window. Its neck was broken - either from the initial impact or perhaps that simply stunned it, the Norwegian Blue stuns easily of course, and when it fell to the ground it broke its neck then.

It's in the dustbin and I couldn't bring myself to photograph it. Sorry.
