Saw a beautiful crested goshawk soaring and displaying over the hills behind the Pamela Youde hospital in Chai Wan this afternoon. A super clear day but it did take me a while to work out what it was. Initially I though tit may have been a buzzard as the wings were too rounded to be the usual kite and the tail was long and quite flared rather than pointed like the kites. But it was just too small. It was hard to compare its size as no other birds came close to it but what gave it away was the very distinct white feathering underneath and directly before the tail feathers and the way it was able to instantly dive and turn as it explored along the tree lines. The first time I have ever seen one of these in the wild.
