Visiting my father who lives in Acklam Road in Middlesbrough, we were awoken yesterday by a large bang on our upstairs bedroom window. Looking out we saw a Goshawk on the patio below, grappling with a large pigeon. The hawk proceeded (over the following half hour) to eat the pigeon. Magpies arrived, hoping for a share, but the hawk was not in a generous mood! It retreated with what was left of the carcass to a flower bed. I later cleaned up - little remained of the pigeon.
