Nature red in beak and claw.

Standing at the kitchen window, a blackbird perches on the window ledge. A bang, for a fraction of a second there’s a raptor staring in then it’s off down the drive, a blackbird in its talons. It didn’t have a restful lunch: a second blackbird flew into a nearby tree, gave it the verbals then attacked it and drove it out of the garden. Sorry the photo’s manky - compact digital camera with lots of zooming and cropping, but I’m sure you get the idea.
