Back in late September I had an unexpected visitor that landed on a lamppost near my home. I could tell it was a large bird of prey but what? after a look through my scope I was delighted to be looking at a juvenile Goshawk. It's the first one that I have recorded on the farm but it was a very welcome visitor.
I quickly got my adapter on my scope for my iPhone and managed to get a photo and a bit of video footage before it flew off. Though I hadn't realised until I checked the pictures that I had chopped the bottom bit of his tail off.

Still not a bad effort through the scope, I did manage to get all the bird in on the video footage below which I was very pleased with.
A very pleasing experience and what a beautiful bird. I hoped that it would stick around for a while but alas that was the only time I saw it but I shouldn't be to greedy, right that's it for this one and I'll catch you all soon.
