Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes)

A thrilling moment for a Munich wildlife guy today. I saw a goshawk in the sky (above my feeding place) and another bird fleeing from it. The goshawk did not hunt the escaping bid. It scared it up. Everything happened too fast for a capture. All I noticed was a downwards curved bill and a bird def. bigger than a little curlew. 100% a curved bill. Not much else going on here at the moment.
The goose died overnight in a dark room in an animal clinic this week. Cause of death is unclear.

A fantastic frontal close-up of this impressive species. Great focus, dof, colors, feather detail, eye contact, pose, and background. First-rate JB! TFS!

A lovely portrait of this handsome Hawfinch, JB! We have them on the feeders sometimes but it was much easier to photograph them from the window of our flat in Stockholm.
