    Very informative! Thank you. We have them coming back to nest on our terrain, each year, as well, in the middle of France (Allier, Auvergne). We've been following them for several years, now. Here is one of the videos I made of them: th-cam.com/video/sdZzh9XtN2A/w-d-xo.html (mating!). Last summer, they raised two chicks (always on the same nest). I would love for this nest site to be part of a research/monitoring/ringing program.

    Had a LSW in the garden for the first time today at 10.40 for round 15 mins, sifting out its preferred food from seed mix in large feeder. Sitting in. Dull head colouring so assume this is a juvenile. Will put out more food this evening. I would like to know more about this organisation and how I could help?

    They don't always nest in pine trees, they use deciduous as well. Suitable hunting area is more important. There is an article about them in Bird Watching magazine.

    I'm still not able to say that I have seen a goshawk although I know that I can go to keilder and forest of Dean and new forest and other known hot spots however I am desperately waiting to see them in my own patch of Lancashire as I know that they have been seen and have nested in various areas....I particularly want to see them in the Blackburn and Darwen area where there is huge conifer plantations and I have spoken with some lucky people who have seen them there......I know that they are around the Gisburn forest area and Bowland....
