It ain't gettin' up again!
Years ago, when I was still with my folks here, we had bother with a barmy crow pulling the mastic off the outside of the window frames! My father was in the agriculture business and borrowed a high power air rifle from a farmer, I came home about 5am off a nightshift, daylight had just come in. I disturbed the crow attacking the mastic. I watched where it went, got the rifle and lined up a shot. It was perched on the top of a lamp post a couple of hundred yards away. I wasn't too hopeful but took the shot. I was amazed when the crow dropped to the ground
then I watched as it got up again, staggered a bit then stood looking around as if it was trying to work out what the hell just happened before flying away. I'd obviously hit it but at the limit of the rifle's range and presume I only stunned it, there wasn't enough power at that range to do any damage.
