Grubby double glazing, glare on the glass, and poor light yesterday, so high(ish) ISO and slow shutter speed... but I don't see him in this pose in my trees often, and you can still see the fur of the prey. He'd just caught the Mouse and flew into my trees to eat it, but the mouse almost wriggled free, hence the mantling pose.
From capture to looking for another meal; less than 15 minutes... no evidence of a kill, no fur or bones. So if this was happening in gardens countrywide, not many people would be aware of it.
