As the barrings goes up to the neck and they are very thin barrings. Also the wing tip is not black like Chinese Goshawk Logged 努力不一定會成功，但不努力一定不會成功!

I think the the tail of this birds is not long enough to suit Eurasian Sparrowhwak and  the number of "finger" is also not match. I think it's possibly a Japanese Sparrowhawk.   Gary Logged geoff_welch BBS Member BBS God I love Po Toi     Gender: Posts: 122 Re: Chinese Goshawks over Po Toi « Reply #10 on: Apr 17th, 2006, 8:02pm » Quote Modify You may be right Gary. I did say 'possibly'.
