Brown Goshawk

Scientific Name:Accipiter fasciatus

Description: Brown Goshawks are medium-sized raptors (birds of prey). They have a brown head, slate-grey to brown upperparts with a red-brown collar across the upper nape of the neck, and finely barred underparts of red-brown with white. The rounded wings are dark brown to grey above and buff to reddish brown below with darker wingtips, and the long rounded tail is grey with dark bars. The long legs are yellow, with reddish brown feathering about the thighs. The eye is bright yellow. Males are smaller than females. Young birds have grey-brown eyes, with brown, streaky plumage. There are several subspecies, with the northern sub-species, didimus, being generally smaller and paler. The Brown Goshawk is widespread but secretive.

Similar species: The Brown Goshawk is very similar in plumage to the related raptor (bird of prey) species, the Collared Sparrowhawk, A. cirrhocephalus, which has a notched or square-tipped tail rather than rounded, and has thinner legs and toes and lacks the Brown Goshawk's heavy brow. Female Sparrowhawks are around the same size (35 cm - 38 cm) as male Brown Goshawks, but males are significantly smaller (29 cm - 33 cm).

Where does it live?

Distribution: Brown Goshawks are found across Australia in suitable habitats. They are also found in New Guinea, the Lesser Sundas, New Caledonia and the New Hebrides.

Habitat: The Brown Goshawk is found in most timbered habitats.

Seasonal movements: Northern birds are sedentary, but southern birds tend to be nomadic, and immature birds move north when dispersing during the winter months.

Feeding: Brown Goshawks feed on small mammals, with rabbits a particularly important prey item, as well as birds, reptiles and insects and sometimes, carrion (dead animals). They hunt stealthily from a low, concealed perch, using sudden, short bursts of speed to pounce onto prey and use their long legs and clawed toes to reach out and strike it. It will occasionally stalk or run along the ground after insects. Prey items are taken back to a perch to be partially plucked (mammals, birds) and then eaten.

Breeding: The Brown Goshawk builds its large stick nest on a horizontal limb of the tallest tree available, often near a waterway or at the edge of a forest. It may sometimes re-use an old raptor's nest. The nest is kept lined with fresh eucalypt leaves. Both parents defend the nest and surrounding territory aggressively. Established pairs will reuse the same area year after year, and often use the same nest. The female incubates the eggs, with the male helping when she needs to leave the nest to feed. The male does the bulk of the hunting to feed the young, which remain dependent on their parents for up to three weeks after fledging. Young birds disperse widely, with distances of up to 900 km not uncommon, to find and establish their own breeding territories.

Calls:A loud, rising 'keek-keek-keek'; also a slow, drawn out 'ee-you-wick, ee-you-wick'. Females have deeper voices than males.

Minimum Size: 37cm

Maximum Size: 55cm

Average size: 46cm

Average weight: 454g

Breeding season: July to December

Clutch Size: 2 to 4 eggs, usually 3

Incubation: 33 days

Nestling Period: 35 days

Framed by the weathered wood of an observation deck, this image offers a panoramic view of a sprawling wetland, alive with the tranquil beauty of nature's canvas. The deck, a deliberate pause along the meandering boardwalk, provides a stationary vantage point for visitors to soak in the serene landscape. It overlooks a mosaic of water and reeds, a habitat teeming with life yet quiet in its afternoon repose. The sky above, dotted with carefree clouds, reflects in the still waters below, completing a picture of serene symmetry. This spot is more than a mere platform; it is an invitation to stand still, watch, and connect with the subtle rhythms of an ecosystem in its natural state.

Thank you all my dears Flickr friends for your sweet comments! I do appreciate them very, very much

The Alice River in central Queensland, Australia rises on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range. It has been very dry so the river is a series of waterholes - it needs a good flush. You can see the water marks on the trees from previous flows. The river bisects the Shire of Barcaldine, flowing in a south-westerly direction towards Isisford and its confluence with the Barcoo River to form Cooper Creek. Barcaldine is located on Lagoon Creek, which flows into the Alice River approximately five kilometre s to the south. The Alice River is often dry, except after the annual summer rains.

 

The Barcoo River forms the boundary of outback Australia with little in the way of civilization west of the Barcoo. Waters from the Barcoo and Alice Rivers flow towards Lake Eyre in Central Australia, while rivers further east join the Murray-Darling basin and reach the sea in South Australia. In 1846, Thomas Mitchell became the first European to see the Barcoo and Alice Rivers. The Alice River was named by Mitchell and Mitchell's name was adopted for the pastoral district and for its grass, Mitchell grass. (Source: Wikipedia)

I already posted a summer version of Maria Eich (see comments) and I'll just insert the same text here:

 

The pilgrimage church Maria Eich has quite a history of miracles:

 

In 1710 the blacksmith sons Franz and Kaspar Thallmayr from Planegg placed a Loreto image of Mary in a hollow oak. Twenty two years later a day laborer made a pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary in the oak tree and recovered from an injury. As early as 1734, the influx of those in need was so great that a hut was built that surrounded the tree with the miraculous image. In 1742 a brick church building was built around the oak, which was consecrated on May 18, 1768. A hermitage was built in 1745, which also served as a school from 1790 to 1804.

 

Maria Eich gained supraregional importance in 1775 when the Bavarian Elector Max III. Joseph held a par force hunt in the forest. A hunted deer sought refuge by the chapel. The elector saw the miraculous image and spared the animal. To commemorate this event, a memorial plaque was attached to the chapel after the elector's death.

 

Maria Eich is still a popular pilgrimage destination, no pilgrims today though.

This is a selfie I took last year during the summer. Uploading because I am sick of seeing all nature/ outdoor shots on my photostream.

2300 Views on my photostream! Thank you!

So there is a black and white version in the comments, because I could not for the life of me decide which I liked better. ha

Go here for my Etsy Shop. And go here for my 500px portfolio! :) And maybe buy some pictures? :D

Square-tailed Kite

Scientific Name: Lophoictinia isura

Although it usually occurs singly, the Square-tailed Kite is sometimes seen soaring in pairs during the breeding season, and family groups of adults and one or two dependent young may be seen during post-fledging period. The Square-tailed Kite usually hunts by flying low over the treetops, occasionally plunging down through the foliage to snatch a bird or insect from among the leaves or twigs. The species often eats the nestlings of birds, and sometimes it will remove the entire nest to get at the young birds, and at other times may remove the tiny birds, one clutched tightly by the talons of each foot. They also catch adult birds by surprising them in the canopy of the forest.

Description: Often solitary, but can be seen in pairs when nesting. Squared-tailed Kites have a long, square tail with very long, upswept paddle-shaped wings and a large cream crescent at the base of their wing tips.

Similar Species: Immature Black Kite, Black-breasted Buzzard, and Red Goshawk

Distribution: Endemic to mainland Australia.

Habitat: The species mainly inhabits open eucalypt forests and woodlands, often where there is a broken canopy, but it also ranges into nearby open habitats. In southern Australia, Square-tailed Kites mainly inhabit open eucalypt forests and woodlands, often dominated by stringybarks, peppermints or box–ironbark eucalypts, as well as Woollybutt, Spotted Gum, Manna Gum, Messmate, River Red Gums, as well as other trees such as Angophora, cypress-pines and casuarinas. It also occurs along the edges of dense forest and along in road verges with remnant or planted trees, and in clearings within forest or in areas of regrowth, up to 4 years after the area has been logged. Other habitats which occasionally support Square-tailed Kites include mallee, heathland (mallee or coastal) and other low shrublands including saltbush plains, and also grasslands or open or cultivated farmland near remnant woodland.

Feeding: Searching for prey from the air, where they are highly agile at low levels, they mainly hunt in eucalypt open forest or woodland, and less often in low shrublands, heath, grassland or crops, and the margins between open and timbered country (forest–heath; woodland–heath; forest–open field; mallee–open paddocks; woodland edges; riparian timber; belts of trees in urban or semi-urban areas; and clearings in forests) are especially favoured. They specialise in hunting among trees, twisting between and below tree-tops, and they take most prey from the outer foliage of the canopy, but do not enter the canopy.

Breeding: Square-tailed Kites nest on horizontal branches in mature living trees, especially eucalypts, often near water, and they need extensive areas of forest or woodland surrounding or nearby.

Calls: Yelping, yeep, yeep, yeep. Also squealing ee ee ee ee

Minimum Size: 50cm

Maximum Size: 55cm

Average size: 53cm

Average weight: 568g

Breeding season: Aug - Dec

Incubation: 37 days

Nestling Period: 63 days

Vandaag aan het einde van de middag arriveerde de 2225 van de SMMR in Beverwijk met het doel om de 2278 en de 2368 met wat oude wagons op te halen die al een hele tijd op het terrein van Tata Steel stonden. Toen de avond gevallen was, en ook een behoorlijke regenbui, stond deze combinatie in het station van Beverwijk klaar voor vertrek, 21 januari 2012.
