Live - A Murder is Announced

Just like Agatha Christie's Miss Marple in a Murder is Announced, I was consumed by the mystery that was the dead birds and rabbits in the garden.

Fret no more, no wildcats here.... It's a HAWK! Or KESTREL! (or other bird of prey that I'm going to look up right now).

This is live blogging and viewing readers. How very exciting.

It's just like spring watch, except that you'll have to imagine Bill Odie sitting next to me.


Update: it was a Kestrel, due to its red feathers:


Murder on the lawn...

What a mystery, this week we had a murder!

It was a rabbit's body left mangled on the lawn. I assumed this was a fox but remembered Guernsey doesn't have foxes, squirrels or snakes. So no chance of a raving rabbid squirrel attack. Mixy-Ma-Toes-Is?

No!

Today at around 3.31pm or thereabouts, I noticed a bird carcass and lots of feathers 5 metres from the house. This carcass wasn't there at 1.05 pm when I hosed the thirsty plants. It being the same place, was this the Same M.O officer?
