Chris MacColl has been unlocking the secrets of the elusive Red Goshawk in northern Queensland and across the Top End of Australia. The work has involved trapping these fearsome-looking raptors and fitting them with harnesses, fitted with GPS transmitters, and analysing the movements of the birds over an entended period of time. Since Chris and I had our conversation, the team have managed to trap male birds, and have harnesses fitted, so they are closer than ever to unlocking to mystery that has been the movement of both sexes in the non-breeding season. Chris explains the methodology of the study, and what secrets the team hope will be unlocked as a result of the data collected and the lengthy observations made in the field.
