Based on popular demand, I have the final roadkill count.  There are a lot of morbid people out there! But it just goes to show how dangerous roads are.  Luckily Steve Jobs hasn't invented an i-pod for wildlife yet, otherwise I reckon there would be carnage on the roads.  Anyway, top of the list but not really counting are the UA's which totalled 41 (including the Ostrich).

The identifiable final list was

Rabbit = 39 (Stewards Enquiry)
Hedgehog = 27
Pheasent = 23
Frog 13
Blackbird 12
Pigeon 8
Badger 6
Slug 5
Squirrell 5
Fox 4
Mouse 3
Seagull 3
Sparrow 3
Kestrel 2
Mallard 2
Adder 1
Blue Tit 1
Finch 1
Magpie 1
Otter 1
Rat 1
Raven 1
Starling 1
Wagtail 1
Worm 1


That's a total of 206, which over 17 days works out to be 12.117 bits of roadkill a day.

Morning Ray Ta very much for roadkill tally. But you know us knowalls we beg to differ. Grouse etc we make 24 and what about the poor old caterpillars, thats what we want to know. We are starting up a petition, in support of these more furry creatures. What have you got to say about that then.. As always all the best Pam & Colin

No catapillars were harmed in the making of this journey. There were a couple of near misses but no fatalities. Those furry little fellas are born survivors!!
