Goshawk - Pictures by Scott Latham Northern Goshawks are strong, powerful and highly territorial birds of prey that live in mature woodlands. The much larger female attracts the male with a dramatic aerial display after which the pair stays together for life. The nests are built by both birds, and those are not within 1km of another breeding pair. They are skilled fliers, with a rapid turn of speed and excellent manoeuvrability they are ideally suited for hunting through the trees.
