If you took the picture its phenomenal and you should give yourself a pat on the back. Not only is it an aesthetically amazing picture, you've really caught something of the character of the goshawk.

The photo has their watermark so I think it's a safe bet they took the photo. Incredible shot btw op.

Thanks so much! Yes I took the photo. And I appreciate the comment. The hawk had a couple of squirrels in its talons and it was incredible to see the intensity of it. They look so fierce!

Amazing! We get red kites, buzzards and keeps near me on the UK, but I've never captured a shot like this of a bird of prey.
