hard to say if they are the same bird or not, but with closer look, especially the last two photos remind me of female or juv. Northern Sparrowhawk. it looks slightly less bulky then the Crested Goshawk, the narrow bars across the chest to vent and no streaks. It will be great to hear from some experts.

Although these are different birds, they are both Northern Sparrowhawks, the first one is a juvenile, the second looks like an adult female. Id is based on structure with a proportionatly long distinctly square tail, bulging primaries and rather pointed wing tip. Pluamge features which clinch id are the fine streaking over the throat, long pale supercilium and rather dark ear coverts. Author: lkuma Time: 25/10/2007 14:48
