On Thursday it was overcast and rainy but the leaves needed sweeping up and we also enjoyed seeing a couple of Red Kites checking out the neighbouring gardens.
I spotted some odd signs of digging in the garden and thought squirrel or fix or hedgehog perhaps???
This morning from the bedroom window a Magpie apparently digging holes but no, it was having a go at what initially thought was a large dead mouse......but then realised it was too large to be a mouse. It was grey with a white underside/belly.
TheWagtail Magpie was clearly trying to butcher it! But it did not manage it.
Just when you need a Red Kite to scavenge such a dead wildlife it was nowhere to be seen.
I left it in the garden and I hope a cat, fox or Red Kite will take it away as I have no wish the find a way to dispose of it
PS I was not aware rats could be grey.....was it a juvenile??? @Cobra do you have any insights to offer?
Oh, I have idea what might killed it?
