Hello,
I made an account today to hopefully find some answers form helpful people in the know as I wasn’t getting much from Google.
I have a pair of collared doves nesting outside my bedroom window, there is always one of them in the nest and they often feed in my garden. I went away for the wknd, came back to check on them and the nest was empty which really surprised me. I went into the garden and at the end under a tree I found a collared dove, decapitated. I was really sad as it’s likely it was Deidre or Ken (the doves outside my window). Would anyone know what is likely to have killed it? I do have a brazen fox that comes into the garden which I try to deter and last week saw a black cat. Is it likely to be either of those or perhaps a sparrowhawk even though I’ve never seen one near the garden?
Thanks for any help or knowledge you could share. Thank you.
