It was hard to tell. Judging from the size and the black/white feathers flying around, it appears to be a male magpie robin 3551485c3a61445
Some of the photos are more bloody. Anyone interested to further examine the prey? 3551em0654445

This is an excellent series of photo documenting this lovely falcon eating its breakfest. Thank you and welcome back.

Thanks all for the comments!!!!
I further examined the photos. It appears now that the prey may not be a magpie robin afterall. The size of the bone (leg?) suggest that the prey may be as large as the falcon. Maybe the prey is a raptor or a common magpie?

Welcome back!35513473749b445 and Great series!3551d5f02ecd445
Would that possibly be a spotted dove? The feather colour looks a bit greyish or is it just color difference of the monitor?

Some feathers of the prey are grey and some are darker 355163a101b9445

The length of the feathers of the prey appears to be comparable to that of the peregrine falcon 3551em015445

And the shoulder/wing bone of the prey is very strong too3551d5f02ecd445

The peregrine falcon looked at me too 3551em015445 [img]http://www.9014316.com/birds/CRW_5785_peregrine_falcon.jpg[/img]
