A murder before our eyes

It's not often you get to witness a murder, especially just outside the window in the back garden AND get to photograph it. 

The victim was a pigeon. The perpetrator looks something like a buzzard, but is not large enough.  The best suggestion made so far is a female Sparrowhawk.  Positive identification will help naturalists, but not police, with their enquiries.


The homicide in progress.  Considering that the picture was taken through the glass of the french door it’s quite sharp.  

A mug shot of the killer.  Do you know them?
