For my money it is a rodent of some kind. The naked tail, narrow
hind foot and immobile big toe are strong arguments against an
antechinus.

Great images, Geoffrey.
It seems to me that the tail of the "meal" is relatively thick and
short for a Mouse - which was my first assumption.
Makes me wonder if it might have been a Marsupial, i.e.,
Antechinus sp?
Comments welcomed.

this morning I was discussing with the ranger what the
hunting pair of BSKs were feeding on, only to come on
the evidence a few minutes later. The bird has both
nictitating membranes fully closed for the swallow.
