A goshawk drops in

 I went to chat with Frances this afternoon and was astonished to see a juvenile Brown Goshawk perched on the railings outside her room.  It seemed quite curious about the humans peering out at her (going on size) but not at all fussed.  Note rounded tail and relatively short middle toe.  

Something on the deck caught her eye!
I was a bit slow pressing the shutter as she took off but this image does show the structure of her legs and tail rather well.
She then perched for a side view  - the only one in which the glaring/heavy brow is noticeable.
