For a few days I've been favouring a Pigeon that looked a bit weak, well what I didn't say yesterday was the Goshawk got it, but not properly.When it flew from the fence and got the Pigeon I wasn't as careful as I usually am about videoing, and I scared it away. I took the Pigeon to the Vets, and it was given an antibiotic injection. There was no injury from the Goshawk, maybe it was a juvenile Goshawk.Well, this morning I found the Pigeon dead in a corner of the garden. Nothing had attacked it, it just died.So by scaring the Goshawk I denied it a meal, but the Pigeon died anyway. So now I'm feeling sorry for the Goshawk.Next time I'll have to focus the Video Camera, and then look away.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
