bits of bird off the oil radiator??

Your lucky it is not cooking, I had a roast pheasant smell a few years back, it lasted for a few months as all of the gutts cooked on the radiator.

Had to jet wash the legs off the radiator, not sure where they went because there's nowhere for them to go.
Apart from the grill at the front, its completely sealed.
Oh well!

Looks like a yellowhammer.

What a tit.

Or is it a Yellow finch?

looks like mellow yellow to me

Not a Tit or a Finch - a Yellowhammer is a member of the Bunting family!

Yellowhammers are on the RSPB protection list. Oh dear, feeling a bit guilty now.

I've never seen that type of bunting on a car before

Don't beat yourself up too much - they are still fairly plentiful. I'm guessing that you were out in the countryside when you collected it, probably in an area of arable farming.

As a matter of fact I was. Bit of a twitcher Peter?

Not my idea of having a nice bird draped across the front of my car
