Over the last month we have been watching a group of birds flying between the trees near Lynwood Park soccer oval. At first the birds where so high up it was hard to identify what they where. After a few days we figured out they where Collared Sparrowhawks.
For the last few days they have been missing and this morning we found one of the them dead. It appeared to be a juvenile and had an unusual dark green foam around its mouth and lots of greenish poo. The neck was very floppy but there where no visible external wounds.
So we wondered had the bird:
- eaten a poisoned animal
- been chased by a predator bird into a tree and crashed
- or what?
