PPP Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 A quick mooch around tonight looking for Branchers and I stumbled across a neat pile of grey Partridge bones with a handful of feathers attached. It’s was a very neat job with pretty much just keg and wing bones left behind. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Buzzard or Sparrow hawk would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 As above ...if the carcase was laid out flat and head gone, I would also include a brown (tawny) owl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have a good population of Owls so could well be that , Buzzards are nearby but I’ve never seen them on this stretch and we do have the odd sparrow hawk..
