Goshawk Or Buzzard

[Tilly2]

Could someone have a look at this webcam please and tell me whether the bird on the nest is a Goshawk or a Buzzard....or indeed something else.

It says Goshawk but I don't think it is. It has a spotty chest rather than a striped chest and it doesn't look mean enough to be a Goshawk.

Sorry for the faffing around trying to paste the link!

Hopefully that last post will now work:-

and you can compare/confirm what it is?

Apologies for the faffing around trying to paste the link. Hopefully I have got it right and it should now work!

Sorry it's not such a good shot but I hope it helps you identify which bird it is.

Thanks, Flonska. It could be an immature female then, which is mature enough to lay three eggs.
