A tiny sparrow was decapitated by my prop. The head bloodied the windscreen, but the body managed to crack the fibreglass leading edge of the cowling before entering same and ending up cooking at rear on firewall. Tiny bird - but still damage!

With the increase of buzzards all over UK, I'm quite concerned as they seem to have no fear and don't dive the way other birds do.
