I posted about this pair about a week ago. Since then, I've managed a few decent photos, in flight, on the nest, with prey, copulating, all can be seen below. They haven't got eggs in the nest yet as far as I can tell as neither of them seems too worried about leaving it unattended. Can't be too far off now though, I've been hearing and seeing them copulate for over 2 weeks.
This morning I had a distant recollection of a cartoon with a sheepdog and a wolf. Each night the "pair" clocked off and the others clocked on. Shift change. One of them was called "Sam" I think. Anyway, the Goshawk male and the Black-breasted Buzzard male both returned to their respective nest within about 5 minutes of each other, and the females of both flew off. I was wondering if the two males were quietly sitting on their respective nests asking how the other one's early morning hunt had gone. Enough waffle. Hope you enjoy the photos.
