Latest visitors to my garden

Familiar Chat just finished flicking its wings

 

While migrants were preparing to leave for the Northern Hemisphere; I had this visitor to my garden for the very first time. Oh! amazing to see how it flicks its wing every time it lands.

Hoping on my garden wall and flicking its wings

 Another new visitor as well caught on my sand patching with its beak held high as if howling at some one.

 

Enough of the sun and lift off

Gabar Goshawk Juvenile visits my garden

I have seen adult Gabar Goshawks visiting the huge trees in the park next to my home for the past several years. Their visits have been all year round. Juveniles were never around or in their company.
I was surprised to see juvenile Gabar Goshawk on Sunday, close enough; that is as far as my doorstep chasing Red-headed Finches from my  bird feeders.
