Driving my lorry on a motorway, a pigeon smacked into the windscreen.

A perfect image, with wings outstretched, was left in dust.

I've had a similar thing happen to my patio door, hopkirk. There were perfect images of a blackbird and a sparrowhawk imprinted on the glass. No bodies were found, so I surmise that they both recovered.

I doubt my pigeon did.
