With our Brown Rat friends finding the woodland feeders to their liking it was somewhat inevitable that some sort of predator would also find them equally appealing. Today the male Kestrel that is part of a pair on the nearby pylons struck while they were not giving their surroundings their full attention and alas it was no more! Having devoured some of it whilst there it carried the rest off for a more relaxed repast.
Many thanks to Lewis Cowper for letting me pinch his memory card for a few precious minutes!
