Admit that is a beautiful morph of a goshawk but will scare the bejesus out of you birds in the avairy, upside is that the butchcerbirds, currawongs, noisy miners and anything smaller will spend more time looking for him than worrying your flock.

Apparently there are only 110 breeding pairs in the world.
Beautiful bird.

Now that is clearly a mistake. Birdlife international tells us that the global population size is "10,000 - 100,000 mature individuals" (http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/specie ... hp?id=3431" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and I, my self, have seen five or six of them.Mortisha wrote:Apparently there are only 110 breeding pairs in the world.

What Mr. Mogan was meaning to say, is that in Tasmania there is only 110 pairs remaining, which I can find cited by many references. (http://www.dpiw.tas.gov.au/inter-nsf/At ... /Hawks.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and http://books.google.com.au/books?id=hlI ... &q&f=false" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for two examples). That doesn't make the shooting of one any less heinous, just a clarification. They are listed as Least Concern globally, Threatened in Victoria and Endangered in Tasmania.

I have a pair of normal grey ones which have nested within 20 metres of my aviaries for the second year in a row. They fledged a clutch about 2 months ago & have now left the area & the small birds are just starting to move back in. Whilst rearing the young I saw one of the parents catch a Bar-shouldered Dove about 10 metres from my breeding aviaries.
