RAPTOR & ACCIPITER 13/35 - Crested Goshawk

 Crested Goshawk

Okay it is confirmed a male Crested Goshawk by my acclaimed guru an expert in accipiter and raptors. If you have any doubt of your bird you can email Mike Chong at mikechn@pc.jaring.my for a second opinion.

Crested Goshawk is a medium size accipiter of 40cm In the picture the crest is quite at the back so cannot see. A resident that can be found at lowland forest of Peninsula Malaysia. Prefer coniferous trees and mix broadleaved forest. My sighting was in Kiara suburban......maybe in Sg Buloh a coniferous forest ground is another possible site to see it.
