Default Murdered in my back garden

Just thought I put these on, as I caught this female sparrow hawk on camera: catching , killing and subsequently eating at leisure, some 30 minutes spent, this unfortunate young starling.

Taken through the back bedroom window glass on an Samsung NV5(thanks Captain Scarlet and Scratch) without the mini tripod. I did take about 80-100 shots, some being better than others. I know the sparrow hawk comes down and has a dip in my pond, as I've found the breast feathers..that's the shot I was hoping for.
