Sparrowhawk

The other day there were piles of feathers in the garden. I thought maybe a sparrowhawk had caught a pigeon. I cleared the feathers up.

Then today, I heard a magpie shouting from the garden. When I looked there was the sparrowhawk sitting on top of a pigeon. It started the process of plucking the feathers ready to get to the inside to eat.

I decided to try and take a video of the scene. This was taken through the kitchen window on a Panasonic Lumix camera.
