Collared Sparrowhawk Accipiter cirrhocephalus |

Numbers remained fairly steady over the survey. There is little seasonal variation, with slightly more sightings in summer after nesting. The high number of sightings in 1988-89 was due to two nest sites observed in that year. R=64. BR=74.

This forest and woodland bird is also fairly secretive and, with the female being difficult to distinguish from the male Brown Goshawk, may be more numerous than records show. They are more restricted in diet than Brown Goshawks, being mainly a predator of small birds and perhaps are better suited to suburban habitats. They are one of the few raptors that will perch and hunt within gardens.
