Media notes

Moved closer to the goshawk between intervals. Bird was perched the whole time during recording. Other birds around were on high alert and very vocal with the goshawk being present.

Observation details

Very obliging individual perched up by the canopy walkway. Not the best lighting but great views overall. Watched it for over 40min in the same tree.
