Dead bird in garden

Never seen a fox around here. No squirrels either oddly enough.

You're too rural

If it turns out to be a recurring problem, this 1769 recipe for sparrow dumplings could be useful:

Mix half a pint of good milk with three eggs, a little salt, and as much flour as will make a thick batter. Put a lump of butter rolled in pepper and salt in every sparrow, mix them in the batter and tie them in a cloth, boil them one hour and a half. pour melted butter over them and serve it up.

There is part of a dead bird (or perhaps a dead animal, not gone too close to investigate yet) in next doors front garden and a smaller part in my back garden.

So presumably been dropped by a bigger bird carrying the carrion off somewhere?

I’m going to double bag the bits and stick them in a bin.

Obviously no foxes or similar here as they still seem untouched despite first seeing them yesterday afternoon.
