Whatever it is Ken, it looks like a good lunch for its young!! London rats can be quite big I imagine.....

I'd agree with Gray Squirrel, it's grey, not the dark brown of a Brown Rat.

Looks like the Buzzard's crop is full, too.

Yes Richard, rat size is often determined by the post code!

Yes nutty, assuming squirrel is now on the menu and with Pine Martens and Gos not too far away...hopefully a better balance may now be achieved?
