Goshawk

My dog chased a goshawk off a part eaten rabbit on the slopes of the downs. This is the first time I have seen this hawk in the area. I cannot of course be sure whether it caught the rabbit, of which there are very many on the downs, or, whether it was scavenging. When I distracted the dog and continued the walk, some magpies assembled and were devouring the carcass. The next morning the rabbit5 was gone, but this is hardly surprising given the number of foxes in the area.
