  1. Goshawk

    Goshawk

    While I was on the balcony trying to get flight shots of Common Buzzards and a Rough-legged Buzzard, my wife shouted that there was one behind me. I turned around and grabbed a few shots. When I looked in the camera I was delighted to find that the bird was a Goshawk, not a Buzzard. We saw more...

    It was not very windy yesterday but this youngster had problems with the perch of his choice.
  6. New goshawk

    New goshawk

    Arrived and left within seconds. Exactly this is the reason why I believe its a new one. The other raptors are "used" to humans.

  9. Goshawk

    Goshawk

    Almost a nice photo of a Goshawk taking off a very wind blown branch. In Gos style it was concealed enough to not show me any real detail but enough to entice!

  11. Goshawk

    Goshawk

    Looks like on diet. He showed up late and still tried to catch prey. Hope he will be successful soon.
  12. Saturday fun: Goshawk with coffee

    Saturday fun: Goshawk with coffee

    We finally managed to sell our flat yesterday. A big relief and now we can start planning our move to the house in the country we bought in June. The day started well too. We were drinking our morning coffee when my wife pointed out that there was a female Goshawk on the roof of the neighbouring...

    I got 2 sharp pictures of this Goshawk. This is the second one and my wife's favourite. Off on our annual trip to the far south of Sweden next week. Not sure when I'll post pictures next time but I hope to get lots of pictures. 😀

    Goshawk

    I was photographing Great Crested Grebes in the sea when I heard a commotion behind me. When I turned around I saw this Goshawk being mobbed by Hooded Crows. I quickly fired off a few shots. My wife, who was sitting in the car, had an even better view of the action. I think it's a male but I'm...

    Recently captured an adult but have not seen the youngsters anymore. Looks like a lovely relationship, does it?

    Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis)

    One youngster is still here and I watched its attempts to catch birds in the tree/in flight. Maybe own prey on another day.

    Yesterday was really outstanding. They were very shy before.

    Goshawk

    My wife spotted this bird in the distance and it flew past at a low height. There was very bright sunshine and I was lucky not to damage my eyes as it flew beneath the sun. I'll be more careful in future. When she saw it in the distance my wife thought it was a Red kite. I could see that it...
  22. Goshawk

    Goshawk

    An adult female according to the ID forum. Taken in the rain. I saw it flying out of one patch of woods and it passed overhead before flying into another patch of woods where Goshawks nest according to the Eva and Eva who were our guides in this area of natural beauty. We were there because they...
  23. The last Goshawk

    The last Goshawk

    And not unlike yesterday's so that means it's time to stop posting. :-) Not sure about the camera settings. It looked brighter in the churchyard than the woods so I went from 1600 ISO to 800. But I needed +1 in exposure compensation as the first pictures were too dark so the shutter speeds were...

    A Goshawk for Chis

    In thanks for all his really interesting and educational Sparrowhawk reports and the amazing Sparrowhawk images from his garden. And because I know he's interested in Goshawks. :-) At this point I had taken a few pictures and was right under the tree so I could concentrate on exposure...
