Ex Red breasted Merganser, Cleethorpes

Freshly dead, head missing and body cavity neatly opened, found just above high water mark in the dunes, not messy enough to be the work of Reynard, doubtful it would catch one anyway, all i can come up with is Peregrine, could even a big female take out a large sawbill??

I think the answer to that is yes Dave. According to BWP they can take prey as large as Grey Heron and Goose Exclamation Also according to BWP they eat the brain and breast muscles first which appears to have happened to this bird.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
