Sparrowhawk female - a la carte, or offal

   

I've said before this week that I'm not getting many birds in my garden because of a female Sparrowhawk, which admittedly I hadn't seen often. Then today it appeared and took another Feral Pigeon, which it pinned down in my fresh water tray. Olive thought it was trying to drown the pigeon. Before I could get a photo it flew to the top of the garden, back to where it ate the last pigeon. Here's a few photos and video taken from an upstairs window which needs cleaned, saying that, and given the conditions I can't complain.

I'm not describing any of these even though I don't find them gruesome, some may, but it's nature and we just employ butchers to do our dirty work!
