About the African Goshawk
The African goshawk is a medium-sized forest and woodland raptor of sub-Saharan Africa.

It feeds mainly on birds but also takes small mammals, reptiles, frogs and insects. It is generally solitary or found in pairs and often hunts from concealed perches before making fast attacks through trees and undergrowth.
