brown goshawk

Thought I should share the continuing saga ………………..I was standing under the carport thinking of going to get the mail when this Brown Goshawk flew between the tank and the house and landed in the tree near the shed. I thought that it might stay there so went and got the camera, took a shot from...

Suddenly Hans could hardly contain his excitement, and alerted us to a Brown Goshawk coming in. He settled not far from me and stayed for a few minutes. What a lovely bird this one is and, obviously, a Lifer for me too. Needless to say all the small birds we'd been watching had disappeared!

Three lifers today, although not all great photos. First up, a Brown Goshawk - a bit distant, very watchful, and I didn't get the exposure adjusted well enough for the bright sky before he took off.

Taken on another dull day .

Sat nicely on this branch for a photo.

A quick post and run as I am busy tracking my son who has about 10 miles left to run in the Apocalypse 100. A 100 mile race set in the Shropshire Hills UK

One last view of the Brown Goshawk that was being harassed by the Willy Wagtail.

It is very difficult to tell the difference between the Collared Sparrowhawk and the Brown Goshawk. I've now been convinced that is a Goshawk - the flesh of the middle toe does not extend beyond the tip of the claw next to it.

ID changed from Collared Sparrowhawk to Brown Goshawk, based on length of middle toe.

I am pretty sure this is a Brown Goshawk?

Brown goshawk

Hi all, just had to share this with you. My last visit was before Christmas and have been working very hard so no time to comment on all the uploads, thanks for sharing everyone! I was doing a survey for the Shire at the local forest, the Brown Goshawks got very vocal when I arrived to check to...

This bird of prey set itself up nicely for me!

Had a look around a grazier's paddock,was pleased to see this Brown Goshawk flying around and managed a few photos.

Already posted but tried to brighten it up a little with a bit of colour as advised by Hans & Judy. Hmmn. I actually added some noise to it to get it to look natural. Hmmn.

Bad exposure. In a dark cloud so I had to lighten it up.

I just heading out the door to do some birding, camera in hand, and saw this handsome young girl in the gum tree in my backyard.

When I was going to the forest (8am) for my second day of the 'parrot' survey I saw some White-winged Choughs fly up into trees over the road with this brown bird in hot pursuit!....Stopped the car quickly but couldn't see the bird for the branches, continued on to the south gate of the property...

The first resonable photo I have taken of this hawk that regulary patrols my area. from this and a couple of others leads me to believe it's a Brown Goshawk

I work at a large secondary college , yesterday we found a small goshawk at the base of a tree with a large abcess on its face . We captured it and send it to a vet for treatment and eventual release into the wild. I noticed the mother was in a nearby tree taking an interest in the young bird...

I was targetting white throated grasswren but none showed up I suspect the reason was this young fellow was also targetting them.

This bird lives in my neighborhood but dispite her size I usually only manage a glimpse of her among the trees. Only once have I seen her soaring. She had just snatched a lizard from the roadside and taken it to a nearby palm tree when this photo was taken.

I always seem to get the same kind of pictures of Brown Goshawks. This is the third time I've got an image like this in the last 4 years. They are always immature males. I wish they could come a little closer or be a bit more adult so I can get progressive changes of maturing appearances. I...

This immature bird I have also tentatively called a brown Goshawk based on its eyebrow

I have named this and, the accompanying immature,a brown goshawk because of the heavey eyebrow.I am happy to take advice on how to tell them apart from the collared sparrowhawk besides this. Thanks
