Identification suggestions (from the community or from AI) and the information here may be wrong; this app never confirms that anything is safe to eat. Do not consume wild plants, mushrooms or seafood without expert confirmation. Nothing here is medical advice.
Never handle an injured bird bare-handed; the talons inflict deep puncture wounds. Report injured birds to wildlife authorities and do not touch dead wild birds.
Ask an adult
Short, blunt-tipped rounded wings with a long tail, unlike the pointed sickle wings of falcons
Tail tip cut square with sharp corners; the goshawk's tail tip is rounded
Underparts finely and densely barred on white; bars brick-orange in adult males, grey-brown in females
Yellow eye and needle-thin, long yellow legs; the goshawk's legs are short and thick
Flies in bursts of a few quick flaps then a glide, ambushing small birds low along hedges
