A large, solitary hawk of wooded and open forests, it soars in wide sweeping arcs. Feeds on mammals (especially rabbits), reptiles, carrion, as well as eggs and nestlings of other raptors.
Found throughout most of Australia, apart from the high rainfall south and east areas.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Australian Raptor Care and Conservation Inc acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. We recognise and appreciate the traditional significance and cultural roles birds of prey play in the lives of our First Nations people.
