Dinner Time
Relaxing in the garden
disturbed by a rustling sound
On hearing a commotion
our eyes turn to the ground
Well disguised and camouflaged
we spot his brown speckled chest
Stood sturdy, silent and still
pinning down his latest quest
A young sparrow is his prey
he’s dining in style tonight
Noticing our presence
he swiftly takes off in flight

Nature can be cruel, but it's nature. Well described, Julie.
