It's true, I quite like Pigeons
DO NOT CLICK ON THE THUMBNAIL IF YOU'RE SQUEAMISH !!!
Just found this in the garden - there's a lot of Feral Cats around, and 4+ Squirrels recently left their drey (in my shed roof) to explore my trees. I heard the Squirrels squeaky alarm (which is usually for a Cat or Fox) and noticed the Pigeons were on the roof instead on in the garden.
The head is gone, and I've not moved the Pigeon. The pose is one I see often if a female Sparrowhawk is pinning down a Pigeon, but the missing head without any sign of a struggle (no loose feathers) makes me think Cat. OTOH, the spot close to a fence and between trees is good for a BOP
Thoughts please?
(I've a close-up of the wound, but I won't upload unless absolutely necessary)
