Head is grey. Bill is black, with red cere and gape. Eyes are deep dark red. Long bare legs and stocky toes are bright red. Melanistic form shows black plumage overall, with pale grey bars across flight feathers above, and white barring below. Red legs scales are flecked with black.

Both sexes are similar, but female is about 15% larger than male. Juvenile has various brown plumages, from pale rufous to dark fuscous.  Upperparts are rather brown with pale streaked head, and pale edges on body feathers. Underparts are white, broadly streaked brown on chest, and barred brown on belly. Cere and legs are rather orange-red than in adults. Eyes are pale yellow. Juvenile melanistic form is dark from hatching.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”How does the Gabar Goshawk in Uganda sing and make calls?” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:800%20bold%20regular%3A800%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Gabar Goshawk utters varied piping “kew-ke, kew-ke” during courtship displays.

It catches insects on the wing. Gabar Goshawk uses several hunting techniques, according to the prey and the place. It is an active and tame hunter. It strikes from cover, but it also searches for prey while flying very fast; it follows prey into bushes, and tears away and robs nests. They also hunt in pairs, perched on the sides of bushes and trees, waiting for emerging prey. Sometimes, they can climb through branches.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”How does the Gabar Goshawk in Uganda nest?” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ google_fonts=”font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:800%20bold%20regular%3A800%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Gabar Goshawk’s nest is usually built by female, in a thorny tree.
