Goshawk at capercaillie carcass

Goshawk; Northern goshawk     Kanakull       Accipiter gentilis

Urban people meet goshawks increasingly often. In winter migrants from the east and north add to the birds that have nested here and so they are even more easily seen.

Why then in the city where they have also started to  nest? Simply in order to catch prey more easily. In winter there is no lack of domestic pigeons or jackdaws and other corvids in cities.
