Brown goshawk, Accipiter fasciatus, on a gum tree branch.

and since I was clearing the camera, here's a Brown Goshawk from the other morning. It's a #FotoFail because apparently 1/1250th of a second is not fast enough to capture the takeoff sufficiently.

A small raptor launches from a branch. Its legs are still just touching the branch, and both wings are raised vertical to the body. It is not entirely sharp due to the speed at which the bird was launching itself.

An adult pair of Wedge-tailed eagles floating overhead & being challenged for aerial dominance first by an Australian magpie then a Brown goshawk.

Eagles: zero fcuks!

Go-you-good-things.

Aerial shot of 2 Wedge-tailed eagles with a lone, brave, Australian magpie literally on the tail of an eagle. Good action shot, if I do say so myself.

In the aerial capture, the Australian magpie is formation flying closely above the soaring eagle.

Now it’s the turn of another raptor to get in on the battle. A Brown goshawk has been loitering for a week and here is strafing an eagle at speed. Both raptors have wings spread in a magnificent display.

Is that all you’ve got… eagle simple floats into the setting sun away from all the hubbub …

There' a family of Pied Currawongs on my property, and this Brown Goshawk has taken offence to them. Pictured here just after take-off as it chases one of the adult Currawongs.

Brown Goshawk (a smallish bird of prey with brown wing uppers and white/brown striped body underneath) takes flight. Wings are outstretched on the top of what will become a powerful downbeat.

I've been spotted!

Juvenile brown goshawk on a branch, centred in frame, staring intently towards the camera.

Came home to find all three #BrownGoshawk chicks have fledged (and are therefore now Juveniles).

They are all still staying in the general vicinity of the nest, and doing a LOT of contact calls.

One of the juvenile Brown Goshawks is on another branch today, a bit further away from the nest, while a younger one calls incessantly from the nest (not pictured).

Grey/brown bird of prey, with yellow legs, body facing away, but head turned to stare directly at the camera.

I suspected there was a second, younger #BrownGoshawk chick in the nest, and this morning, I spotted both chicks (younger on the left).

Two Brown Goshawk juveniles sitting on a branch looking down at the camera. The nest is partially visible to the right of frame.

One of the adult Brown Goshawks. The chick has fledged, I saw it flying with the adult, but it was too fast to get a shot. Still returns to the nest to rest, and calls for food regularly.

Adult Brown Goshawk, in a tree not far from the nest, just after the juvenile had returned to the nest.

I think maybe the chicks have hatched, as it appears both the male and female were out of the nest today hunting. Hard to see here but the bird on the left has caught a small bird for lunch and has it in its talons.

Two Brown Goshawks in a tree. Left one facing towards the camera, with a small bird in its talons. The bird on the right is slightly further away, appears a little smaller and is facing to the right and away.

I heard the Brown Goshawk this morning just after getting out of bed, and watched it do things in its nest for about 5 mins before heading out again. Managed to get this launch shot (the next frame was a better "in flight" shot, but missed the focus.
