Game Bird

Collected at a merlin plucking post in N Ireland at the weekend.

Left to right:

Three frogs - uneaten. A sign of food shortage during recent poor weather? Only one previous published record of frogs at plucking post.

Remains of bird of prey (juvenile, in pin) is this a juvenile merlin?

Remains of a starling.
