    Hi, Is it possible to identify whether this is a brown goshawk or collared sparrowhawk? Bird ID apps are giving mixed results. Thanks.

    The recent sparrowhawk from a different angle of view. Today was dull and grey, almost like in November. Thank god its March and we will soon have green trees with warmer weather. The broken stem is a result of heavy snowfall.
