Grey (White) Goshawk Accipiter novaehollandiae
This beauty had caught a baby rabbit that was on the ground below it.
These are not uncommon around here and about 2 km away is a creek named Whitehawk Creek.
I don't know why it was called that but assume due to the presence of these birds.

This beauty for some reason did a tight walk along the wire. I've a series of photos as it walked gingerly but cleverly along the wire.
No idea why it didn't just walk along the timber strut?


The Grey Goshawk is a medium-sized raptor (bird of prey), with two colour morphs (forms). The grey morph has a grey head and upperparts, with white underparts barred grey on the chest. The rounded wings are grey above, white below, and have darker wingtips. The medium length tail is grey above and white below, barred grey. The white morph is pure white all over and is often known as the White Goshawk.

...I've no idea why they are crossing the road.
