Hi all,
Some amazing images of a feeding Goshawk, taken in the Netherlands by James Lidster, can be seen at http://jameslidster.web-log.nl/jame...d-birthday-christmas-all-rolled-into-one.html.
What a monster of a bird!
Regards,

I agree, truly stunning pics. I saw a pair of Goshawk yesterday for the first time in ages and I'd almost forgotton what monsters they are.

I can well imagine how shaky he was, I was bad enough just seeing the female Sparrowhawk in my garden close up for the first time!

A sub-adult, with that orange eye! Similar to photos in Wheeler's RAPTORS of Eastern North America

This thing about the eyes should only be used as a guide, it does not always follow that age or sex of the bird "must have a certain colour eyes".

Might have to move to the Netherlands!

Looks pretty much a fully mature adult to me Bob.

It is a fully mature adult, no question about it.
