Belinda,
In Sydney Olympic Park a couple of years ago there were a pair of
Sparrowhawks nesting within 50m of a pair of Brown Goshawks. So it
could be very likely that you are seeing a number of birds.
Cheers

Thanks so much for all your replies.
I am still a bit confused now, but maybe less so that when I started
thinking about this. I can definitely see that the female is a lot
like a
Goshawk- even her loud voice- and he has Goshawk-like traits too.
But we
know that this same small area of forest (including the pigeon
nests in our
yard) to be the territory of a pair of sparrowhawks, and their
juvenile,
which we have seen regularly for over 2 years and photographed. The
last
sighting of the juvenile was around 2-3 weeks ago, in the photos
below.

Do you think the Goshawks could have moved back into this area
within the
last couple of weeks, then, and chased off the sparrowhawks then?
