Spotted
The African Goshawk is a medium-sized raptor found in sub-Saharan Africa, characterized by its dark slate-grey upperparts and barred underparts. It is an agile forest hunter, preying primarily on birds and small mammals.
Where to spot
Forests, woodlands, and dense savannas across sub-Saharan Africa.
How to spot
Look for its dark grey upperparts, rufous-barred underparts, and short, rounded wings. It is often detected by its loud, rapid 'ki-ki-ki-ki' calls or by watching for sudden, fast flight bursts through the trees.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Often secretive within dense foliage, but can be seen in forest clearings or edges.
It is known for its explosive bursts of speed and maneuverability through dense vegetation while hunting, making it a formidable aerial predator in the forest.
