On several ocassions with the ANBG ones, they knew I was there, sometimes 20+ mins, and showed no alarm. Then one or more birds like Currawongs or Kookaburras they perceived as a threat arrived and parents began alarm calls before chasing those
birds away. Immediately they proceeded to swoop.

Like some other species, such as magpies, aggressive behaviour among B Goshawks varies greatly from individual to individual. Some will slip away from the
nest area before they are seen. One member of a pair might be aggressive, the other timid. If they are swooping they are likely to be stressed at human presence near a nest and unnecessarily approaching a nest or young should be avoided.

The Brown Goshawks at Mulligan's are obviously far more friendly than those at the ANBG. I visited yesterday and didn't even see the adults although I certainly looked ...
The two juveniles I spotted and they both seem to be doing well. I had a quick visit but didn't push my luck!
