Red Goshawk at Farina

[Geoff Hutchinson via Birding-Aus <>]

Hi,
I have just got back in the land of Telstra out of the bush.
Thanks everyone for the replies about the RG, when I first saw if on the camera I thought it was a Square-tail Kite but when I downloaded them to the Laptop and checked in the guide book it convinced me it was a RG. But way out of range. I was not convinced especially since there was a pair with a chick, I think Steve Debus can confirm how old the chick is. I think about 5 to 6 weeks. The female would return to the nest often, but I did not see the male visit in the two sessions over two days. I did see the male flying around.
For those that know Farina the RG nest is about 200 meters from the Buzzards nest and there is a Whistling Kites nest in between. 
At Farina the Black-breasted Buzzard pair, the female was at times sitting on the nest and the male patrolling the area around. I thought as she was sitting they had eggs or young under 6 weeks old.
I will attach one photo here and put up a few more on the Face Book page.
Shirley Cook will Steve be able to see the photos on FB or should I send them to him?
CheersGeoff Hutchinson
