Juvenile Brown Goshawk overhead (Accipiter fasciatus)

Not much to photograph this morning except for a Wallaby in early morning light and this juvenile Brown Goshawk flying overhead.The rounded tail separates this species from the smaller Collated Sparrowhawk,which has a squar or slightly forked tail.Otherwise they look very much the same in juvenile and adult plumage.

What a wonderful picture you've taken of this youngster Hans!!! I can see it heading to Opus shortly my friend.

Many thanks for sharing him with us. You've captured such great plumage detail.
