Thanks Stuart - if you see a young bird with a white instead of grey beak - that would indicate nesting occurred nearby

They are common in my suburb. I see small groups of them regularly while walking my dogs.

Thank you. I’ve updated the sighting. Agree. Far more likely to be a Brown Goshawk.

Long legs, long tail, short wings, yellow eyes are features typical of Brown Goshawk/Collared Sparrowhawk. Robust legs and round tail (?) would be a better match for Brown Goshawk than Collared Sparrowhawk
