Any views on likely predator? Gut contents neatly put to one side suggest a raptor, and the location is certainly within range of both the Karura River and the Gitathuru pairs of African crowned eagles, not to mention the others in the neighborhood (Ayres' long-crested, etc.). On the other hand, signs of damage to the throat.
