This bird shot past our house at 5.10pm this afternoon (Clearwater Bay). I had just strolled out to count the kites which had risen to 38 when this did one circuit, during which I went to grab the camera and when I came out again it was already flying off. This was the better of 2 grab shots, heavily blown up from the original. Is it "just" a Crested goshawk? Comments appreciated.

Thanks very much

Yes, I think it's a Crested Goshawk.
