The Fiji Goshawk is a medium-sized raptor endemic to the Fijian archipelago. It exhibits variable plumage, ranging from dark to rufous, and is a key predator in its island ecosystem.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Fiji Islands, including the main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, as well as several smaller islands. It inhabits forests, woodlands, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its quick, agile flight through wooded areas. Pay attention to its variable plumage for identification. Listen for its distinctive, chattering calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day. Often seen hunting in the early morning or late afternoon, soaring over forest patches or perching on exposed branches.
This goshawk plays a crucial role in controlling populations of small birds and insects within its island ecosystem, contributing to the balance of the local fauna.
