and since I was clearing the camera, here's a Brown Goshawk from the other morning. It's a #FotoFail because apparently 1/1250th of a second is not fast enough to capture the takeoff sufficiently.

Eagles: zero fcuks!
Go-you-good-things.

There' a family of Pied Currawongs on my property, and this Brown Goshawk has taken offence to them. Pictured here just after take-off as it chases one of the adult Currawongs.
I've been spotted!
One of the Brown Goshawk juveniles hanging around out the front of our place while I prep the pizza oven for lunch.
Came home to find all three #BrownGoshawk chicks have fledged (and are therefore now Juveniles).
They are all still staying in the general vicinity of the nest, and doing a LOT of contact calls.
One of the juvenile Brown Goshawks is on another branch today, a bit further away from the nest, while a younger one calls incessantly from the nest (not pictured).
I suspected there was a second, younger #BrownGoshawk chick in the nest, and this morning, I spotted both chicks (younger on the left).
One of the adult Brown Goshawks. The chick has fledged, I saw it flying with the adult, but it was too fast to get a shot. Still returns to the nest to rest, and calls for food regularly.
I think maybe the chicks have hatched, as it appears both the male and female were out of the nest today hunting. Hard to see here but the bird on the left has caught a small bird for lunch and has it in its talons.
