User's notes
Lone bird, circling (and being harassed by a noisy miner). Inspection of the middle toe, and its generally smallish size, suggest this is the Collared Sparrowhawk, rather than a Brown Goshawk.

Heavy brow and rounded tail suggest otherwise. Looks like a pretty good fit for goshawk, and sometimes the males can be surprisingly small
