Lochvane follow up

Yesterday we received an email from friends just outside St.Clears Carms.. The email was about a cock pheasant killing a good size grass snake, we asked if they could measure the snake but when they returned the snake was gone; the snake had presumably been feigning death and decided that 'discretion was the better part of valour' making it's escape while things were quiet.

It was therefore interesting to see another avian killing of a snake on blog, however in this instance I would rule out pheasant as the snake had been eviscerated, I would also rule out buzzard as the snake seemed to have had a more clinical evisceration than I believe a buzzard would perform, to mind this leaves a member of the corvid family as the culprit; I am certainly interested in any further criminal analysis on offer though.
