An image captured in March in the garden just below the bird table. The attack was swift, deadly and of course this was the only shot I was able to take through the window before the batteries on the camera gave out. By the time I had changed them the bird was off to the trees to feed its young or partner.A has fed the birds for years. One of the inevitable consequences of this has been the increase in birds on the table and in the surrounding vegetation. As a vegie she would be mortified by the thought that this only increases the opportunities for top level predators.
I don't have any problem with this.
It also encourages rats.
But that is a story for another time.
