Fierce Falco

Well, not as fierce as the sparrowhawk whom I think has taken another pigeon.
Nor quite as fierce sounding as a vixen who was screeching in the garden last night. Perhaps because she got there after the badger- he had eaten everything including two apples.
But, this little bird remains adamant that no other robins shall eat in my garden, even though his nest is not here!
Tane will come and eat right next to me - I am sure it is Tane, now. He literally eats a foot from my head or feet. Hoping that I will shield him from Falco.
Not for long, it doesn't.
Falco then guards me - not that he likes me - but because, I think, he sees me as a lure for the enemy!
I was very happy this morning as I saw the robin with no feathers around its left eye. I had thought that one might die as it looked so sickly, but there can't be two with exactly the same bare patches! I suspect that she is the wife of Tane, and maybe Falca went for her as she is a fellow female?
I have not seen Falca at all, but Falco is presumably soon to start feeding her and then new chicks.
The little chick corpses have disappeared from the nest. I wonder who took them?
