Goshawk 3, den 2

[den]

Looks like the young goshawk also had a go at the rosella in rehab, unless that bird spontaneously developed a broken wing and back injury. I had to euthanase it. I don't think the injured blackbird chick will survive. The raptor also had a go at the last peewee in rehab but he was smart enough to hide under the end covered with a towel. I only have the peewee and one blackbird chick in good health now, buggrit.

And I think the neighbours lost some budgies from their aviary. There are a lot of green&yellow feathers in my garden.

Despite it being a right bastid for going after trapped prey, it's a *smart* goshawk bastige. And it's doing what they do, but the easy way:P. Too bad about the nieghbors budgies. when I was home last visit a great big sparrowhawk sat on the low branch of my folks crabapple tree in the back yard. Object: doves and other fry who might approch the now permanently empty feeder.

I haven't seen much hawk activity because it is winter here, but I do see them on the favorite aerial tower half the time I do look. High spots attract predator bastiges.
