We came across this young Sparrowhawk this morning, having a late breakfast (and saving some for later by the looks of it), sat on the path. It flew up to some low branches but hung around long enough for a photo before disappearing into some thicker cover.
We found at least four dead birds, varying from a few bloodied bones to most of a body, in the surrounding area. One of the bodies looked like it may have been another young Sparrowhawk but was very old and, hence, very smelly! The more squeamish amongst you might want to look away now.

Another of the carcasses that were spread around the area
Any ideas on the identities of the above victims greatfully received.
