A few years ago a collared sparrowhawk brought a feral pigeon into our
garden. The pigeon was still alive. The sparrowhawk dropped it. It
tried to escape but the raptor was in close pursuit. It spent several
hours eating the bird, in the middle of Wells Gardens. A feral pigeon
would be heavier than a crested pigeon wouldn't it?
