The Hawk did return for the corpse and finished it off at the back door area leaving behind a wing with everything else gone. :o
The Sparrowhawk is now back on the hunt in the area. I have noticed that since the swallows moved in and had 2 lots of youngsters on our property (under the eaves at the front of house), the hawk was chased by up to ten swallows away from the area. Now that the youngsters have fledged and out of the nest, I don't have frantic swallow parents to chase it away. I know they all have to eat but like everyone else preferably not in my back yard.
I am very protective of the blackbirds and they are still tame with me. So, I put out their raisons, cheese, seed etc. and wait until the blackbirds eat before I go back indoors. I don't want them to be snatched by the sparrowhawk. I am def. nuts.... maybe..
;D
