Crested Goshawk with Gallus Gallus chick

Very fortunate today to witness the act of a Crested Goshawk having caught a Jungle fowl (Gallus Gallus) chick in Pasir Ris Park. What i didn't realise was it actually caught 2 chicks and 1 dropped to the ground. The crested goshawk later took the remaining chick (after killing it) to its nest nearby to feed on (or maybe for its young to eat).

Contemplating moving to another branch to finally feed after it stop pecking on the feathers. It was looking around for a different place to relocate.
