Dear Sarah,
I have not been able to walk on Isaacs Ridge for some years but when I used to walk there regularly (almost daily) there was a brown goshawk that used to breed each year in the pines just above the Buntine Crescent entrance. I never
actually saw the nest but had many experiences of being 'dive-bombed' in the spring.

The reserve is very dry, and the survey sites (3 in all) had very small numbers of birds. The surprise of the morning was a Brown Goshawk, which flew to a branch above my head and glared at me for several minutes at the last site.
Less than 20 species in all, with a group of three Common Bronzewings close to the step-thru on Mugga Lane the only significant sighting outside the actual sites.
