Birds of prey strike their prey in the city. fox and co. patrols through parks and streets at night in search of food. The city becomes a hunting ground for wild animals.
Stuttgart-mitte – during a stroll through the city on sophienstrasse, karsten leffrang was amazed: countless gray feathers fell to the ground in front of him. When he looked around, he discovered the cause: "a sparrowhawk had hit a pigeon and was squatting with its prey on sophienstrasse," he says, never imagining that birds of prey would go hunting in the big city. The fact that the bird was not a peregrine falcon, as he had initially suspected, but a sparrowhawk, he later researched on the basis of his photo on the internet.
