Bluemoon erudition strikes again. Alternatively, Clarkie strikes again.

The 2nd single release by Genesis, in 1968....is your clue. ; )

My garden has turned into a killing field !

Yesterday I saw a sparrow hawk take out a sparrow.

This morning I look out and a peregrine falcon take out a dove !

Not a great picture !

That happens often in my back garden , seen it twice kill and pluck the birds and fly off with the bodies , the pile of feathers is the givaway that it was not a cat or fox kill

Because my feeders are right outside my patio doors it's nigh on impossible to get a pic without being seen. Managed to catch this male yellow shafted Northern Flicker early this morning. What a beauty when in flight.
