craigpigeonshooter Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Walking around the golf course this afternoon I noticed some feather and amongst them this head. Any idea what bird it is and what might have eaten/attacked it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'd say a Tawny Owl but they're generally a bit taller than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Deja vu. By sheer coincidence I posted an identical find on our local pitch and putt course which is closed in the winter about this time last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
