Hi and thank you.
I put it into the Lamma Island forum as a Crested Goshawk a couple of weeks ago, but then had my doubts after seeing the other excellent recent Besra photo.
Is practically a resident in my garden & is gradually reducing the sparrow population. Has even come down within 10' of me while sitting in the open & taken a sparrow. Is noticeable he/she only attacks single birds.... I suppose only one pair of eyes to spot him.

Thanks again

Guy
