ACCIPITRIFORMES: Accipitridae
Erythrotriorchis radiatus
Visits to this site at Mataranka on two consecutive days a week earlier gained us glimpses of this Red Goshawk on its nest a hundred metres away.
Persistence pays because on this day when we revisited the site as we travelled on our way back through Mataranka en route to Darwin, the Red Goshawk flew from the nest and perched in a much closer tree.
