Pigeon kill



In the back garden, on Thursday the 30th Oct 2008, a wood pigeon was killed and partly eaten. It happened when Viv was away walking with Joke. In all likelihood it was killed by a Goshawk, or a feamale sparrow hawk, according to Wim Calame, bird and nature expert who als works with Kerry. Picture shows some body feathers, the long tail feathers which have been plucked out and not bitten out by say a cat, dog or fox. Some guts are also visible, but these were scavanged quickly by some carrion eater.
