Goshawks the first 61 days from hatching to fledging | RSPB Abernethy Forest, Scotland

Northern Goshawks, young goshawks..
How to do them justice: They can be beautiful, cute and ferocious at the same time.
It’s been an amazing adventure seeing these awesome birds grow up. The care of the parents, getting more anxious bringing prey the older the chicks get and the kids fighting for food.. but also cuddle together.
And on the other hand, the strange behavior when a chick has the upper hand and the other turn their back, letting the winner eat in peace… until it lets go of the prey, then the fight begins again.
This video tells the story of the 61 first days, from hatching to first branch, to leaving the nest altogether until the parents stop bringing food.
The video was made using clips from scyllabub, L L, Edith P and myself captured from the Goshawk Live Nest Cam 2022 at RSPB Abernethy Forest, Scotland. All underlying clips can be found at my playlist ( • Goshawk Live Nest Cam ... )
Unfortunately not every day has a clip, a few days are missing, but this video will give you a good understanding of the day to day growth of these little monsters.
A big, big, thank you to RSPB (www.rspb.org.uk/) and wildlife windows for making this possible.
The footage is from the live webcam by rspb and wildlife windows at • Video

May favorit bird😃❤️🙋‍♂️

[@BartBirds]

Definitely mine too (as long as they don't attack my second favorite the osprey)

[@FAHHTER]

@@BartBirds I didn't know that osprey families are such pussies, a hawk catches a little one of them in the nest, they don't let him do anything, but bigger than him🤷‍♂️

[@jorappanjm380]

Gowshak are furious

[@romye6870]

What about the 4th chick?

[@BartBirds]

It died, underfed, on June 8th… and was fed to its siblings..
Really disturbing to see, but it’s in the playlist
