I hit a pheasent and it did £250ish worth of damage (dented bonnet, smashed up the grill and dented bumper) 
I cant believe you stopped on the motorway and looked for it....did you want to become the next one to be hit or just get locked up for being mental?!!

I remember hitting a little sparrow. Just saw it fly infront of my car looked it the rear view mirror to see a puff of feathers 
A pidgeon once hit my wing mirror leaving it dangling off my car stupid fuckers, they can fly, why the hell are they getting hit by cars! Just fly higher

I was driving through thick for the other night, and suddenly 2 ears appeared running between my headlights, the rabbit veered left then a 'du-dum' felt guilty
also a few weeks back a flock of birds? were in the road, they all flew away except one, I pipped my horn and it disappeared under my car about a mile down the road, a bunch of feathers came out the back.
where did he go for the mile?

True they are stupid! When I used to out horse riding, they would just walk in front of you, not even attempt to dart into the long grass, so if I had a gun I would have had LOADS of time to get a shot
And instead of staying quiet when we rode past on the road, they would make a stupid loud sound, amd fly up from the bushes......

I killed a badger once. It made a very large bang and smashed the bumper off of the car I was driving at the time.

Highway code tells you NOT to brake, ever, for animals.

260: If you are involved in an accident which causes damage or injury to any other person, vehicle, animal or property, you MUST
stop
give your own and the vehicle owner's name and address, and the registration number of the vehicle, to anyone having reasonable grounds for requiring them
if you do not give your name and address at the time of the accident, report the accident to the police as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any case within 24 hours.
190: Animals. When passing animals, drive slowly. Give them plenty of room and be ready to stop. Do not scare animals by sounding your horn or revving your engine. Look out for animals being led or ridden on the road and take extra care and keep your speed down at left-hand bends and on narrow country roads. If a road is blocked by a herd of animals, stop and switch off your engine until they have left the road. Watch out for animals on unfenced roads.

neither of those points are really relavent. Your not going to stop and tuck your details under the mother ducks wing are you. Or in the remains of the cat which could be from any house within a mile radius.

I see those points Jake, but neither are telling you to brake to avoid animals...
It tells you not to jam your brakes on, not to swerve.

of course they fucking are. Robin said the highway code states you shouldnt brake for any animal when the second point contradicts that. If the cat, etc isnt dead the humane thing to do is take it to a vet in that case.

I says slow down when herded animals, or ridden animals are about. It says nothing about swerving or breaking not to hit animals, or taking them to the vets.

TBF, if the animal isn't dead, it deserves to suffer for walking on the fucking motorway. IMO.
