Goshawk in Yorkshire UK (accipiter gentilis)
Goshawk in Yorkshire UK (accipiter gentilis)

Length 53cm. Both sexes similar to sparrow-hawk but larger size. Female is larger than male, usually seen in woods and forests, dashing through trees in pursuit of birds. Nests mainly in fir trees.

Picture was taken with a Sony cybershot compact camera. There is a lack of detail in the feathers compared with my DSLR, but I think the overall result is acceptable for such a tiny camera. I was no looking to photograph birds on this day when this one just appeared. The best camera is the one you have with you!
