Found this beauty in my greenhouse today, it let me pick it up and posed

Do they go for bigger things than blackbirds *too? We've got some of
those collared dove things and I saw a speeding blur steal tail
fathers from a CD on the bid table - and a burst of feathers as the CD
escaped. I've not spotted anything that looks capable of eating one
though.

Yes, they do. I had one devour an entire pigeon in my back garden a
while back.
