This and following sightings show what was assumed to be an adult Sparrowhawk and two juveniles moving constantly from tree to tree in the vicinity of the Hilliards Creek wetlands. The two juveniles were constantly calling to the adult and looking about. Assumed to be Sparrowhawks rather than Goshawks due to the last segment of middle toe projecting beyond the other toes, and the bill size and eye shape. As the birds were constantly on the move I've tried to upload each individual in its own sighting, but this may not be the case. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.

Great photos @TimL of the Pacific Baza (note the slim black crest).
