Found part of a short-eared owl wing this morning, appears to have been dismembered by a raptor, no damage to wing, parted from body by a smooth cut. Any ideas, I've had peregrine on site in the recent past. Also present; wigeon[12], goldeneye[10], tufted[3], pochard[1m], pair of stonechat and 5 skylark apparently on territory.
It was a Wigeon that did it. Did you know they can reach Mach 1 in a stoop?
ReplyDeleteAnd dismembered by a saw-bill? anyway did you get any northern light images.
ReplyDeleteNo! I don't want to talk about it.
DeleteThe SEO probably exploded on impact, when the wigeon hit it, though I suppose it could have been a skylark. They can be a bit tetchy on times.
