Unfortunately it was the next morning that I discovered it.

Also add to the fact that the 'impact' was head first by the bat literally splitting it down the middle...

Nasty sight, using the BBQ tongs to pull it off... it fell in to 3 pieces with intestines falling out too

No damage though

I know... I have been out a lot with work and it's raining here a lot at the moment. As I keep leaving my car overnight in outdoor car parks there hasn't been much point. I do have a major OCD about cleaning my car, so this afternoon it's getting a full wash and wax
