Red Goshawk nest tree pruned as endangered bird flies vast distance

That’s a fairly serious accusation, Greg, and it comes in three parts:

• It was the Government officers who were the ones studying the Goshawk who lopped the tree (and not, for example,  the local electricity company)
• The bird was sitting on eggs when the tree was lopped (and not while the parents were off hunting)
• The reasons they lopped the tree was to improve photographic opportunities (and not, to continue the alternative example, to lessen fire danger)

What evidence do you have to support these three separate accusations?

Queensland Government officers studying the endangered Red Goshawk on Cape York lopped the limbs off a nesting tree while a bird was sitting on eggs to improve photographic opportunities. The claim was made as it was revealed radio-tracking has demonstrated that the Red Goshawk will fly considerable distances and across large bodies of water.
