For a while we have had an inkling that we had a visiting bird of prey other than the resident sparrow hawks. This afternoon after we returned home from our walk (see next post!) our suspicions were confirmed. Unfortunately the camera wasn't to hand in time, but with said bird perching on a fence post for long enough for detailed identification, we now know that we have a male goshawk visiting. Not good news for the other wildlife in the garden, but it's wonderful to have such a diverse range of wildlife in our own back garden. He better leave the squirrels alone though.
