Are these wild or captive Ally-C They were wild, but moved close to here or else they’d have been put down. The reason they got to move here was, that there’s other wild ones quite close & in time they’d have got here anyway.

It flew off, but a short later it was eating supper in our flower border. I couldn’t make out what it caught but there are only some legs and a few feathers left now.
