A mystery solved


I have known for some time that a bird of prey was stooging around our district, (see Birds posted 26/05/2010) but I never got a long enough look to identify it.

Now we know, it seems to be a Goshawk. It stood and stared at me waiting for me to go away and the minute I turned away, it was off, but this time I had caught it on camera.

Not a bad picture when you consider it was right under all the bushes in quite a shaded spot. You can see a spalsh of sunlight on the ground by him, which shows the level of light outside his hiding place.
