For some unknown reason, the hyperlink to the image doesn't include the

So to view the image copy and paste both lines of the URL into the address

Or email me and I'll send you a copy of the image.

G'day everyone,

 

I need a bit of help getting a positive ID of these birds I spotted at
Warriewood Wetlands this morning.

 

The only information I can offer for a positive ID is that when I spotted
the nest with one of the birds was on it. Its tail was poking over the end,
and I noticed that the middle tail feathers appeared slightly longer than
the other tail feathers. This feature is my only defining feature to tick it
as a Brown Goshawk.

 

I know in the past couple of seasons that a Goshawk pair have nested at
Warriewood, but I don't know if it was a Brown or Grey Goshawk.

Also seen at Warriewood this morning, but not as exciting was a Rufous
Fantail and a female Rufous Whistler.

 

Regards,

Mark
