THE FIFER Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Posted November 21, 2009 Do them lines cause you much bother Archie? no not at all. they are prity thick, sometimes not often youngsters first spins get close, the pole is actually in the next garden ,

Guest IB Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 Not seen one in the wild, but 3 of my clubmates described a bird just like that - a white speckled or grizzled appearance to the breast - it was a goshawk.

chickadee Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 Not seen one in the wild, but 3 of my clubmates described a bird just like that - a white speckled or grizzled appearance to the breast - it was a goshawk. You could be right, not much difference :-/ Peregrine Gosshawk
