Ah, springtime! A time of awakening, rebirth, burgeoning buds - and avian
bloodshed. And a good deal of mammal death, too.

This year we are taking account of the savagery, perhaps to try to atone for the
guilt we suffer for allowing [Sadie, Cinnamon and Bob]({{< relref "#the-perpetrators" >}}) 
to exact such terror on the local wildlife.

Here then is a simple list of slaughtered fauna for 2021. 

#### Current analysis as of 28 May 2021:
