My sympathy is completely with the sparrowhawk.
Round here we have a surplus of starlings at the moment, and it is always
tougher to be at the top of the food chain.

It ain't all critters eating critters, but the three cheetahs went

It would seem to me to be easier to be top of the food chain - you can eat
