Having Lunch

[Stackman]

We were having lunch and saw this in the garden, surprised as we live near Manchester Airport. Even managed to get the 400mm and get a bit closer.

Female Sparrow Hawk, Magpie & looks like the victim is a young Blackbird. Well captured.

Well caught Chris, no doubt the Magpie cleared up the left-overs, that's the norm.

Well done, you are very lucky to have both seen it and had time to get the camera and take some good pics!
