Today and for the third day, a female Sparrowhawk was plucking and eating a Feral Pigeon it had killed in Olive's garden. As is often normal when they have a kill, it would continue eating when I drove up the drive or peered around the garage to video it. The bird didn't seem to be able to carry the pigeon away but today it flew off with what remained of the pigeon.

It was looking straight at me here, always ready to flee if necessary. It has a small piece of pigeon in its beak, just visible
