I think it's the inverted side of a Common or Brown Hawker. |

When you say disturbed something, did you actually see what it was?
just out of interest Bird, Beastie?

Looks very much like the remains of a Brown Hawker to me.

No nightshade did not see it. which i am quite gutted about, thought it may have been a hobby as the birds were spooked and i am sure there was a bird of prey of some sort around, you know how you get that feeling. kinda like a sixth sense! passed the gate it was on to take some pics of greylag geese 5 mins before coming back and it was not there then. oh well!
