Possibly Goshawk?
Hi, is this the possible Goshawk mentioned? I saw this over Forge Mill Lake today (2nd May) around 11:30am and I wasn't sure but thought it may be a Goshawk. I took some photos if that helps to identify it though not the best pictures they may be useful. I think it was a crow next to it in the one photo as they were having a go at it.

Hi Dave, I'm hoping to get down the valley for 5am.Probably have an hour round the marsh then move over to the Salters Lane area, round Priory Woods, Paddocks etc for a few hours then onto Forge Mill.
The wife has given me a free pass so I can stay as long as I like B
What's the plan about recording what's been seen ?
