Neil   Lamma Island, Hong Kong, China. 08/12/05   Nikon D2x plus Nikon 300/2.8 AFS and 1.4x teleconverter     Logged Mike Kilburn Committee Member BBS God     Posts: 334 Re: Unsure goshawk on Lamma? « Reply #1 on: Dec 9th, 2005, 9:53am » Quote Modify This is a classic Crested Goshawk pose - the fluffy white undertail coverts make identification relatively straightforward.   Often the undertail coverts are fluffed out like this when the bird is displaying - short flicking wingbeats followed by a short glide, and then the short flicking wingbeats again.   Cheers   Mike K Logged Mike Kilburn Vice Chairman Chairman - ConservationCommittee HKBWS Neil BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 498 Re: Unsure goshawk on Lamma? « Reply #2 on: Dec 9th, 2005, 10:06pm » Quote Modify Thanks Mike.  As there were two of them circling around and landing in a tree together then maybe they were displaying.Neil.
