Cannibalism - coming to a garden near you!

[DeDarren]

I just come across these pictures on the RSPB forum, of a female sparrowhawk eating what appears to be another sparrowhawk, believed by the twitchers to be a 1st year male.

 

Is the worm in the foodchain beginning to turn? Would cessation of racing and flying our birds out in the U.K. for just 1 season see more widespread acts of cannibalism such as this?

 

Food for thought.

Yes they don't need to cull over population as nature will control the balance, just more propaganda from the powers that be
