 Sparrowhwak eating a sparrow in my garden. First time ever I saw this.

I was able to go outside and very slowly approach the bird to approx. 3 meter distance. It noticed me but after some time continued plucking and eating the sparrow.

Overall editing: exposure correction, cropping, noise reduction and sharpening.
Local editing: creating a light gap between the plant and the tail.
