Where did the Goshawk go?

Northern Goshawk

with some Eurasian Teal and other waterfowl

Fukushimagata, Niigata, Japan

October 11, 2014


October is a good time to look out for goshawks hunting waterfowl at Fukushimagata. I stood waiting when everything was quiet and was even ready when the goshawk came but just totally lost sight of it. No close encounters this year like in the past

That's an astounding number of birds you've shown even if it was disappointing about the Goshawk's brief appearance!

I often have the same trouble locating a Peregrine when one dives through a flock of waders or Teal but there's no doubting that one is about. It's a special sort of panic they induce and you captured it well Russell. In fact your pictures are a good learning point for any budding birder.
