We had a Kestral take a collared dove in the garden last week. We know what it was cos it proceeded to fly into the living room window and fall in a heap on the ground outside. We got a good look at it while it sorted itself out before flying off again to dismember its lunch in next doors garden.

I saw a rat the size of a cat the other day. It had just emerged from where they're repairing the Victorian sewer.
