A wildlife charity said a buzzard is 'lucky to be alive' after getting wedged in the front bumper of a 4x4 vehicle.
Oxfordshire Wildlife Rescue (OWR) was called after the bird was hit in the hamlet of Christmas Common, Oxon., on March 15.
A dramatic picture shows the buzzard, which suffered a torn wing, spread across the front of the car, close to the left headlight.

OWR medics arrived and managed to remove the bird without hurting it further - or damaging the car.
The team added that they expect the bird will be released into the wild soon and will make a full recovery.
A spokesperson from the charity said: "This buzzard is very lucky to be alive.
"After being hit and becoming physically wedged into the cars bodywork, our wildlife rescue service was called to come and assist this angry damsel in distress.

"Luckily, the only injuries the buzzard came away with were a torn wing (which has now since been repaired) and a serious headache.
"Thankfully, the buzzard is doing well here with our care team and we all hope that this angry but rather unfortunate patient will soon be up and back in the skies once more.
