Australia’s largest goshawk. Distinctive heavily barred wings and tail seen when soaring. Feeds mostly on birds, particularly pigeons and parrots, but will take other bird species and rarely mammals.
Found only in a narrow coastal band from the Kimberley in WA up and around to the northernmost tip of NSW; seldom seen.
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.
