A goshawk sits in the branches of a larch and observes its surroundings. Its plumage camouflages it so well that it can hardly be spotted there. Goshawks are skilled hunters who know how to take advantage of the moment of surprise. When they spot potential prey, they wait for the right moment to push off powerfully from their perch and chase after their victim. Goshawks are true aerial artists.
The picture is characterised by its naturalness and richness of detail. The fresh buds of the larch and the beautiful light contribute to the very good overall impression.
