I was wondering about "digesting on one leg". I have read
or heard somewhere that some raptors keep bits of unused prey held in one
foot tucked up inside their feathers. I think what I heard was
about hobbys (what is the plural of a proper name ending in 'y'? - hobbys
or hobbies?). Does anyone know if this sparrowhawk is just
digesting or might have another bit of finch in its claw, and if this
mooted behaviour is true or not? Needless to say I loved the pictorial accompaniment - well taken! Julian At 10:07 AM 25/04/07, Bron King wrote:
