| | | ID bird of prey in London garden
This bird caught and devoured a dove a few minutes ago in our SW London backgarden and flew away when we opened the patio door for a better view - so poor pic through glass below. Got some fair video too. TIA  |

Hi N,
It's a Sparrowhawk, Accipiter nisus. I hope you're going to make him clear up all those feathers!
Take care, Jason  |
