  • Those of a nervous disposition, move right on.
    Mature, distant neighbour contacted me.
    He had found a headless carcass of a bird on his lawn.
    He and his wife keep a bird feeder topped up to encourage small birds,
    and,
    have had regular visits from a (wood?) pigeon for close on a decade.

    I was unable to identfy the carcass.
    Pictures here.

    Anyone care to offer an identification?

  • Thanks for the reply.
    I'm wondering if the squared off tail and the long wings are diagnostic.
    There are some 'gulls' in Ruislip, thanks to the Lido attracting some Terns.
    I'm not certain of the colouration of juvenile Terns.
