Our new Our visitor came back to the table today and brought lunch. Fascinating to see the circle of life, but sad to think one of our regulars WAS lunch. Do sparrows have bright yellow on some feathers or was this somethings else? We do have four goldfinches daily, I hope it's not one of them, they are so beautiful and stay for 20mins or so on a feeder. see photos below.
Hi worm, I'm afraid your pictures aren't showing up for me, some of the others might be able to see them, Sparrows don't have bright yellow feathers on them, it could have been a siskin.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
Sorry worm, I keep trying but your photo is not showing yet.
Hello Worm,
What fantastic photos, so well captured, but I'm afraid it looks like a siskin or goldfinch to me. Whatever, the sparrowhawk also needs to eat, and knows just the right place to do it! What good table manners!!!
Cheers, Linda.

Hi worm
Great photo,
I agree it does look like a siskin or goldfinch, I would go for goldfinch, its sad but it's part of life.
He didn't leave much did he,
a male sparrowhawk was in my garden again today, never got anything this time.
Hey farmer, farmer, put away the D.D.T now. Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please!
Hi Worm,
The bird which has been eaten is a Goldfinch!
I would also identify it as a male Goldfinch, the yellow on the primaries and the black nasal hair above the remains of the beak.
BUZZARD !!!!! You are even doing post mortems with nasal hair now!!!!! You must have eyes like the sparrowhawk!!
I'm sorry it was one of your goldfinches, Worm.
ew! he didn't leave much did he!
Nature is certainly a harsh reality sometimes
