The Grey Goshawk is a medium-sized bird of prey. Seen hovering over a paddock in Blayney, NSW, Australia.
It always angers me to see little ones growing up, surrounded by trash. Please stop littering.

This juvi and his sibling had been sitting for a while apparently waiting for mom or dad to return with lunch. When mom landed in the nest with a small fish this juvi began walking down the branch towards the nest "whining" the whole way. I guess he was letting mom know that he was REALLY hungry...
Whilst walking around Horsbere Brook Ponds (near Gloucester) this Kestrel was flying & hovering for some time giving me a chance to get some photos.

Looking for some help with ID on this one. Not sure if it is a whistling kite or maybe a square tailed kite. Either way, it was remarkably tame sitting quietly at the river edge, allowing me to get within a few metres.
Gray ghost surprise!!
It's always good to wash your fruit in the morning. You may ask...."But why?".....The answer...because it means you're facing your big sliding glass doors and might spot something wonderful out in the open space behind your house. That's exactly what happened. I saw a hawk come swooping in and land right behind my fence. I assumed it was our resident red-tailed hawk.....but when I went over to look...it was flying away from me and I could see it had a white patch on top of it's tail which could only mean a Northern Harrier. However, what I didn't expect was that it was a MALE harrier or as many call it a Grey ghost!!! We have never seen a male harrier hunting behind our house. I made some inaudible sounds with my excitement.....grabbed my camera and bolted out of the back door. I really didn't expect it to hang around very long, and it didn't. It flew out of sight, but then back in sight, and then repeated this numerous times. Finally he started making some circles and made a few passes right in front of me. He also managed to fly with some very nice fall colors behind him in the distance. I will have a few more to share, but here are some of my favorites.
