Not sure but thought it was the sparrow that the hawk took.
Would the sheets have help to hide him on his way in to make the kill. This is the first time we know of a hawk making a killing in my garden.
There is a Sparrow hawks nest in the nearby woods 1/2 mile away.

I think the bird table made all the difference in this case tbh
Personally I would consider myself lucky to see that. It's perfectly natural and I am sure any young family will now manage with a single parent, although not sure if that's how it works...?
