You don't say what time this morning you first noticed it but Sparrow Hawks
etc are up and about early.

I noticed it circa 9am so could well have happened earlier in morning
at first light etc. Certainly had a good meal nothing left only a bit
of wing even had head & beak ........ feathers made a mess all around
my waterfall but pump was off . Would the moving water have put it off
having it's breakfast here ?

Birds of prey typically do not eat all the victim, usually they will
pluck the back feathers and eat the soft bits leaving most of the
carcase. Of course it could not have been a fox, they are nice and
fluffy creatures who would not harm a fly.
