Not what I was expecting!

Not what I was expecting! (Accipiter fasciatus)

Suddenly Hans could hardly contain his excitement, and alerted us to a Brown Goshawk coming in.

He settled not far from me and stayed for a few minutes.

What a lovely bird this one is and, obviously, a Lifer for me too.

Needless to say all the small birds we'd been watching had disappeared!
