Two Goshawks went over just as I was leaving – originally saw one and expected it to be a Buzzard as it came in high over the channel, travelling north, pestered by a much smaller Carrion Crow – soon saw the long tail and different profile and realised it was a Goshawk. Then noticed a 2nd identical bird travelling in parallel with it but much higher – never seen that before? – left it too late to get a photo and couldn’t get it to focus on the dot in the sky 🙂 also kestrel, peregrine, sparrowhawk (2), chiff-chaff (2), blackcap, skylark (7), linnet (100), Goldfinch (50), Swallow (200) House martin (10), Meadow pipit, chaffinch, jay etc
The two Goshawks I saw drifting towards Cardiff Bay over Penarth Rd last Sunday were flying in the same manner, parallel but quite well apart! I too had not seen other than singles before.
Thats very interesting Steve – thanks for the feedback.
