Hallo,

I saw this bird on river Warnow near baltic coast.
Not sure if it is Goshawk ?

Best regards
Dieter

Hi Dieter,

Hard to tell from that angle, could you provide a description of how it looked and what it was doing?

Cheers,

Andy.

Playing with the contrast & brightness, I can't get any sign of undertail coverts yet I do get broad barring on the tail. I think probably not goshawk.

I would say a definitive ID is impossible from the photos, sorry to say.

Bird ID

Hallo Greg and all the other helpers,

I afraid it is difficult to identify.
I record some seconds with a camcorder, but I was very quick.

Best regards
Dieter

The shape of the first two looks falcon-y? The second two are ships.
