Obvs never tested that. But doesn't explain how a pigeon can explode with enough force to damage a bridge though! I'm guessing the pigeon will not recover. :-O]

No. 2 son said he used this in NZ (to meet locals at events etc rather than just other hostel buddies who may want to drink all night - just for a change..). So I had a look at it. Excellent. I now have a moonlight walk lined up for a saturday ending at 1030pm with a load of walkers. Which in itself is better than a) slumping or b) slumping and drinking or c) going out to the pub.
