A Texas woman was attacked by a hawk and a snake at the same time after the bird - which eats snakes - accidentally dropped the wriggling serpent on her.
Peggy Jones, 64, was mowing her lawn last month when a passing hawk dropped a snake on her before swooping down to angrily try to reclaim its meal.

Yet another reason not to move to Texas! I'm glad she's recovering.

I was just reading that on the BBC, poor woman 😳 You couldn't make it up could you. Sounds like she was lucky she was wearing glasses.

Yes indeed.

Crazy. If that happened to me I don't think I would dare step outside of the house again without a big reinforced umbrella shield.
