Death Comes to the Birdfeeder

Being Winter, I’ve hung up a birdfeeder outside my study window. It gets lots of visitors, generally members of the Tit families. Yesterday I was working away when suddenly I caught a flash of something whizzing past the windows, and the thump of at least one bird hitting the glass. A Sparrowhawk (an adult female, I think) had spotted the possibility of lunch and successfully captured a Great Tit. She took it a few yards away to under a Pine tree where she devoured it at her leisure.
