Excellent photos which show really well the easiest way to identify a perched Crested Goshawk: the shape of the tail. As can be seen on this bird the tail tip is extremely rounded; all other accipiters that occur in HK show a square tail tip when perched. Even at some distance this can be very obvious.

Mr. Leader, Is the square tip useful in differentiating between the Besra and the Crested Goshawk?
