swooping goshawk
This raptor was flying around the house early one morning,chasing small birds
It was hard to tell what type it was,I used my L 400 lens to try and get some
pics for identification.
It appears to be a Brown Goshawk,(Accipiter fasciatus) a 'sub adult' female.
ref:The Field Guide of Birds of Australia,by Pizzy and Knight.
While not prize winning pics,this lens has really helped with my interest in natural history,-in this case,not only did a ID take place-but extra info was also obtained,which i would not have been able to gain if i did'nt have this wonderful lens.
Hope these may be of interest
regards Chris
