Grey (White) Goshawk Accipiter novaehollandiae
This beauty had caught a baby rabbit that was on the ground below it.

For some reason it did a tight walk along the wire.
No idea why it didn't just walk along the timber strut?

Maybe the wire was in the way. It's hard to tell from a 2-D image.


PRONOUN ADVISORY: OhLook is a she. | A FEW CORRECT SPELLINGS: lens, aperture, amateur, hobbyist, per se, raccoon, whoa | Comments welcome

Not sure. When it first jumped up it landed on the strut just staring about. The wire is offset to the strut but higher.
It certainly showed its dexterity in its footwork
