…. the big toad that I unfortunately squished with my back wheel on tonight’s ride. Sorry little guy I just didn’t see you in the dark.

After the Thatcher thread this is a proper let down.

I want my money back.

If you are suffering from karma based toad guilt….DO NOT RIDE SWINLEY IN THE SUMMER AT NIGHT!

Seriously my good Karma bank account must be empty. Hundreds of the little buggers and attracted to the lights. Sorry little slimy dudes.

The wildlife count has increased considerably of late, on a ride last week I saw a fox, a rat, a badger, several toads & a hedgehog which almost got run over by a taxi. Guess it’s spring then!

You should’ve seen all the frogs/toads trying to keep wet in the very few puddles up at Torridon a couple of weeks ago, frickin hundreds of em!
Think there was a bit of ‘Frog Porn’ going on.

I HATED THAT TOAD. BURN IN HELL.

Toads have rights!

I was next to a car which his a squirrel today. I looked back and it was still convulsing a bit. I couldn’t face finishing it off and I still feel bad… Sorry Mr Squiggle! 🙁

I watched a squirrel get squished by a JCB once. It was looking at me as I was looking at it whilst keeping an eye on the JCB fast approaching.

It was a grey one so I didn’t feel sad.

RACIST!!!

It’s not an accident, Spring is prime suicide time for wildlife.

Squirrels are the worst when driving very early in the morning. Oddly this seems worse near Daventry.

You took a picture of it slugwash?
Is this an isolated incident or do you have an album full of squished wildlife pictures?

I hate Toads… closing all those mill ponds and putting frogs out of a job. Good riddance I say.

We’ve had 2 fully grown Deers squished just down the road from me in the last week. Not a nice sight at all.

By cyclists?

Which tyres for squishing wildlife?

Nope, both by cars.. So I guess that doesn’t count does it.

Poor Maggy. Just been reincarnated and then sqooosh!

Don’t worry; every toad’s gotta croak…..

Slugwash. Get help. Really. Now.

I was viciously attacked by a rabbit earlier this week.

I didn’t need a holy hand grenade I just use my blessed Continentals and ran the bugger over. The screach from the first tyre hitting was rather disturbing especially as I didn’t know what I hit at first.

Jesus!
What’s that 2nd one you reckon?
Pinemartin perhaps?

that pigeon is the best one, good foto skillz slug

Everyone else, Slugwash didn’t kill ’em he just reported ’em. He’s a suburban Kate Adie that’s what he is.

Mmm spatchcock surprise

I ran over a Puff Adder in South Africa at the end of my dads drive. After a week that thing smelt REALLY bad.
