It was hard to tell.  Judging from the size and the black/white feathers flying around, it appears to be a male magpie robin

Some of the photos are more bloody.  Anyone interested to further examine the prey?

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!  and Great series!
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


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


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


The peregrine falcon looked at me too
