Something had pulled one of the frogs out of the water and left mangled remains for the flies. Nice!
The pile of feathers belonged to a Great Tit. It was near a nest box which had been in a tree some feet away. Quite a strong predator had attacked the box and killed the bird, plucked it and disposed of the remains. Could be a squirrel but we'll never know!
We are attending the Bird Fair at Rutland in a couple of weeks so I will investigate/purchase a camera for the garden. Lots of things visit us in the night and I want to see them!
A lovely daytime visitor was this beautiful Bullfinch. It has started popping in but doesn't stay long.
It's horrible when you find something violent has happened in your garden isn't it? To you the garden is a place of peace but that is not necessarily the case for the animals who live there. Nature - makes you shiver.
