The magpie,the crow and the rabbit.

I thought I had seen it all.This evening I realised I hadn't.At 6.30 this evening I was driving from KIlbride to Dunderry.At Conlon's back gate I spied a magpie and a crow picking at an animal no more than the size of my fist.I assumed it was a roadkill.I was wrong .On getting nearer the birds flew away.And up gets a baby rabbit and scarpers away.This is the first time I witnessed two birds of different species combining to kill another animal.
I have often seen grey crows and magpies concurrently trying to pick the eyes from a prostrate lamb,but never saw them combining to kill a baby rabbit.
Deadly coalition.Bit like F,G. and Labour combining to allow the killing of the unborn at the suit of the mother.
