The Grey Goshawk is a medium-sized raptor native to Australia and parts of Southeast Asia, known for its polymorphic plumage which includes an all-white morph. It is a powerful and agile hunter.
Where to spot
Found in coastal eastern and northern Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, and surrounding islands (e.g., Solomon Islands). Inhabits dense forests, woodlands, and mangrove swamps.
How to spot
Look for its quick, powerful flight through forest. Pay close attention to its plumage (all white vs. grey) for identification. Listen for its harsh, rapid calls, especially during breeding season.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen hunting in the early morning or late afternoon. It is a resident species in its range.
This species has two distinct color morphs: a pure white form (sometimes called 'White Goshawk') and a grey form with white underparts, which can lead to confusion with other raptors.
