It flew off to another part of the garden with the squirrel tightly held in its talons (below left). There, perching quietly on a branch, it paused for the next 10-15 minutes, cautiously looking around (below right). Only then did it start dealing with its prey. More

Crested Goshawk - There is always a pair in Rimba which I first sighted in 2002. I am not sure whether they are the same pair of birds that I have been meeting up with all these years.
