Cant get much better than this. Right place at the right time. When I finished I thanked the bird and carried on with my walk, leaving it to its breakfast.

What a magnificent bird and a front row seat to watch her having breakfast. I fairly sure it was a female Sparrowhawk. the only other possibility is a Goshawk which is a less common bird.
Top class filming Willpar

That's brilliant.
Remarkable how close you were able to be without it disappearing, even when a car went past! Just a shame it seemed a tiny bit too heavy for him/her to carry off to a more comfortable place to munch on.

Surely that vid should be sent to maybe the RSPB - it's far too good not to be seen by specialists. Absolutely stunning, Willpar
What was the prey ?? Woodie or a magpie ??

I was trying to work that out too! I think it's a magpie.

The prey looked like a wood pigeon to me.
