Raptors over my garden: northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis)

This female goshawk appeared from behind some trees very close to me.

Prior to that, a large flock of crows flew over, so I was prepared with the camera when the goshawk appeared. She is backlit, but seems to work with light-colored birds.

Thanks for looking.

In Finland quite many raptors are being ringed in the nest, that makes it possible to understand how they move around after leaving the nest. Despite being ringed, I would call this a wild bird.
