| 21/04/18 | Goshawk | Lavell's Lake, Dinton Pastures CP | 1 | J Taylor |
| fem. Seen soaring with Red Kites and Common Buzzards at c.11:30. About the size of a Common Buzzard, but with longer tail and more rounded wings. Wings proportionately longer and tail proportionately shorter than in Sparrowhawk. Upperparts dark; underparts pale grey with whitish undertail coverts. In direct flight, showed flap-flap-glide action typical of an Accipiter species, although slower and more assured than Sparrowhawk. Edit: Wingspan about 3/4 of Red Kite wingspan; tail rounded at end when fanned. | ||||
