Brown Goshawk launches to latch onto early lunch


Brown Goshawk launches from open perch on way to grabbing unidentified insect from patch of leucaena in Cape Pallarenda Conservation Park this morning.


Luck with me because bird dropped onto low perch to start ripping into prey.


Feeding continued on higher branch of nearby tree after bird decided I'd got too close.


Earlier, bit of uncommon colour on roughly cleared foredune with eight Galahs feeding on fallen terminalia nuts. First sighting for me of species at the park.
