Shock, Horror BBC headlines with some appoligise to bird lovers.
' Twitchers watch robin served rare.'
'Birdwatchers from all over Britain who gathered in Grimsby to catch sight of a rare American robin were
horrified to see it eaten by a passing sparrowhawk.
They were still setting up their cameras when the predator swooped down from a row of drab factories and
warehouses on an industrial estate.
The young bird, from the southern US, "didn't really live to enjoy her moment of fame," a twitcher told the Guardian.
The robin's vivid red breast made it an obvious candidate for a lunch date.
"It was a terrible moment," Graham Appleton, of the British Trust for Ornithology, which had spread news
of the bird's arrival, told the newspaper. '
