À propos

The Grey Goshawk (<em>Accipiter novaehollandiae</em>) is a medium-sized raptor of the family Accipitridae (Hawks, Eagles & Kites), native to Australia and nearby islands. It occupies a range of habitats including forest and grassland, making it one of the more habitat-versatile members of its genus. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature for this record, though the Grey Goshawk is notable for occurring in both a grey-and-white morph and a pure white morph, the latter being unique among Australian raptors. Geographic range data are not fully documented here. Diet information is not recorded in the available data; the species is known to take birds, reptiles, and small mammals. Nesting is recorded as platform-type (PL), with an incubation period of 31 to 34 days and fledging occurring 30 to 42 days after hatching. Clutch size ranges from 1 to 5 eggs. Song and call descriptions are not documented in the available data. The Grey Goshawk is assessed as Least Concern, with a stable population across its Australian and island range.
