Re: Grey Goshawk - white

["Michael J Hunter" <>]

Hi Martin,
               The white Goshawk site is essentially in the eastern
foothills of the Blue Mountains, Mulgoa Valley is a few km. south of Penrith
in Sydney's far west.
               The spot we see it has a largish population of Red-browed and
Double-barred Finches, Superb and Variegated Fairywrens, various Thornbills,
Robins ,Whistlers and Honeyeaters, and is an interface between the foothills
with pastureland , regrowth woodland and large gardens. We usually see 40 to
50 species on our intermittent ninety minute walks up the hill, if there are
less a Goshawk is usually about, grey phase occur as well. Have never seen
prey taken, there is a great early-warning system in the Bell Miner colony
nearby, as well as Noisy Miners on the other side of the road.
                                     Cheers
                                             Michael
