As I was riding my bike along 221 west of Centreville yesterday I blazed past (do you believe that?) two fluffy masses of feathers lying about ten feet apart on the right hand side of the road. The small mass was a seriously damaged Robin; the other a more seriously torn up Merlin. It seems likely that the Merlin had offed the Robin but managed to encounter a vehicle before he could devour his lunch. I suppose the Robin could have come to grief and the remains were then spotted by the Merlin who went for the free lunch and paid for it. But I prefer to think he took his prey in the traditional Merlin style, eschewing the scavenging habits of Crows for instance.
