I'm not sure what happened, but these are the remains of a Stock Dove.
There were several piles of feathers, starting near a bush and then moving out into the open as whatever it was worked its way through its meal. Finally, the legs and pelvis and the wings and sternum (click for slightly gruesome photo) of the dove were left in two separate portions, away from the feathers, and picked clean very neatly.
Anyone care to guess what did it? Bird or mammal? The motive is easier to work out...
