Is the significance of the two-inch length of smooth, bark? And the feather dissection?

EXPLANATION

The size and curious colour of the first stray feather show that the vic- tim was a bluċ-ill From the evi- dence it is not only possible to deduce that the bird of prey, or the killer, was of the hawk species, but that it was a sparrow-hawic,

When such a feather dissection Is found It is safe to assume that it is the work of a member of the hawk family, especially 50 when the feathers are found beneath the branch of a tree. Hawks invariably tear and pluck their prey, and usually favour a chosen branch for this specialised butchery.

A closer inspection of the branch In question will show that the short portion of smooth bark is caused by the bird's wiping is beak after the feast. The minute drops of blood on this surface are additional proof.

HEDGEROW PIRATE

In pinning down the killing to the sparrow-hawk, consideration is inken first of the ashen-grey feather found adhering to the blood on the branch. The plumage of the sparrow-howk is of this shode, whereas its close relation, the kestrel, is of chestnut huc.

Again the kestrel is a hoverer, and more fond of fur than feather, The sparrow-hawk delights in fly- ing piratical fashion over hedge- rows, and takes a heavy toll of small bird life. The single feather found first marks the spot where the hawk stooped and made his clutch.
