Pigeonhawk

Thank you for the very kind comments on the grouse from yesterday.

This morning this sparrowhawk caught a wood pigeon in the back garden. I didn't see the kill, but I did see the eating and feathers flying around. This was right at the bottom of the garden, so a big zoom. Sparrowhawks only ever take wood pigeons in my garden so I think they should be renamed Pigeonhawks. :)

Wow, what a moment to capture, Kits - thanks for sharing with us.
 
A wonderful capture of this behavior, Kits! And life goes on, who knows, maybe even for the pigeon.
