A friend of mine got some great pictures of a Seagull…… being eaten by a sparrow hawk (thanks Google Images) right in the comfort of his own back garden. It took the bird of prey two hours to finish the job.
UPDATE: As Mark points out in comments, the unfortunate prey bird may have been a dove or a pigeon. Seagulls have webbed feet.

A seagull? A pigeon?
There was a kestrel eating a pigeon in my garden when I got home from work the other week, I took pics too but resisted the temptation to post them online…
Your award is in the post.
Found the beheaded remains of a pigeon just like this today in our front garden (Donnybrook).
Blood and feathers all over the driveway too!
Nature is BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks for sharing.
Damn nature, you scary!
Looks like a Collared Dove
Ah…This is what it feels like.
Nature is a gruel mistress
That’s nature. Poisoning such beautiful creatures is natures way. I agree sea gull is tasty though. Anyone remember Jon Don in Booterstown’s Chicken and Chips? Kept Blackrock College boys fed and made them the men they are today.
Seagull must have left his webbed feet at home.
