Accipiter tachiro

Also known as Red-chested Goshawk

African goshawks perform dramatic dawn display flights high above the canopy, uttering loud, rhythmic clicking calls while soaring in wide circles. These secretive raptors rely on short, broad wings and long tails to maneuver swiftly through dense foliage when ambush-hunting small vertebrates. Pairs build untidy stick nests high in tree forks, where females take primary responsibility for brooding while males deliver food.
