Observation details

An adult male was initially seen aggressively chasing a juvenile/immature African Goshawk. The adult eventually caught the juvenile, and they became "clasped" together, falling to the ground about 15m away from where I was. They had a long, intense stare-down for approximately 3 minutes on the ground. The adult male then flew off, and the juvenile departed a few moments later in the opposite direction with a bare white down patch visibly present on his back and tail quite badly ruffled up. The interaction may have ceased due to their awareness of my presence upon landing.
