Birdwatchers gathered at Lunan Bay in Scotland to see a rare red-rumped swallow, usually only seen in the southern Mediterranean. A sparrowhawk also spotted the swallow though and promptly ate it. From the BBC News:
Mike Sawyer, a member of a Dundee group comprising RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) members, said: "We were absolutely horrified. That's life I suppose."An RSPB spokesman added: "It's very unfortunate that it was devoured after such a short space of time, and before more people had seen it.
