Hold her steady, Pilot. Steady … steady … steadeeey. Bomb gone!

I strolled through Hoo Wood yesterday, minding my business, whistling softly, when something hit me on top of my head – it had a bit of momentum behind it, too. A small brown thing tumbled through the air, landing on the track in front of me. It was a shrew! As I knelt to investigate, it gasped a couple of times and died. Small animals colliding with my head is becoming a regular event; I wonder why?

What happened? Fell from a bird’s claws, perhaps?

Poor little thing. Such is nature though.

Yes. Lets hope she was already dead and didn’t suffer.

I think your explanation is the most likely. 🙂

In Sweden I have encountered many times dead Shrews, not falling on my head though;)!

I’ve only been hit on the head once with a shrew, and it was alive at the time. There is still time for you, too, Ann. 😉

How very odd. Perhaps an umbrella on your walks is in order? 🙂

No, Melody, I refuse an umbrella. 🙂

An anti-shrew hat? 🙂

A possibility! I wonder what an anti-shrew hat might look like, Melody? What about the other things that have collided with my head, like: pigeon, blackbird, and squirrels? An anti-shrew hat might not offer enough protection against these other impacts. 😦

I’m thinking that whatever your anticipated headgear might require, you might end up looking rather – er, ‘interesting’… 😀

Which is exactly why I’m not planning any special precautions. 🙂

Wow, I’d hope no one was around ’cause I’d probably freak out…

I agree with Ashley – I’d probably freak out.
I’m still waiting for the day when I’m looking straight up at a bird in a tree and bird poo lands on my glasses.

Don’t wait for it, Vicki. Have you heard of tempting fate?

This last month, near miss with a black bird and a bat, never been hit yet by a shrew.

There is still time to tempt fate, Alex.
