I am fortunate to live close to the Peak District population of Goshawks so I see them fairly frequently, well in spring at least, when they are displaying. But they are wary birds, and usually fly off if anyone gets too close. So this is only the second time I have managed to photograph a perched bird. Most photographs of perched Goshawks are taken at baited hides, which is fine, but it's a route I have chosen not to go down as I prefer to use my own knowledge and skills to secure photo-opportunities. This young bird landed in a nearby Beech tree, but was distracted by the presence of another Goshawk so was calling loudly.
