Gone grackle.

And another one - from last evening. Looked like it had fell out of the nest in some tall trees.

Interesting Massimo! Is it a dead snake, or "just" a shed skin? Very interesting juxtaposition none-the-less.

I have an empty shell crab.

Dead non-poisonous snake, it had been clubbed to death. Too bad, some people hate snakes...

Massimo - snakes are fascinating creatures. Curious .. do you know if it's an Aesculapian Snake?

Fresh kill - a dove. Probably leftovers from a sparrowhawk meal. Phone shot.

I think it's too small to be an Aesculapian Snake, which is 1.2 to 1.6 metres in length. That one was 0.6-0.8 metres. Probably in the Natrix family, and possibly Natrix maura, or Natrix natrix (the latter is unlikely, it has a white collar, but the poor snake's head was badly ruined) . See some photos from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natrix
