Aren't birds brilliant!

 

Phantom arrivals

Those viewers of the live webcam will already know that on Sunday afternoon we welcomed two new goshawks into the New Forest family fold.

Hatched within half an hour of each other, all eyes are now on the final two eggs, which could hatch any day now.

Known as the 'phantoms of the forest' due to their elusive behaviour, only 410 breeding pairs of goshawks exist in UK, including those resident to the New Forest.

Join us at our viewpoint to see the chicks at their cutest, and from June, the goshawks will hopefully be joined by a second bird of prey family, as we transmit the fortunes of a pair of New Forest hobbies as they also raise a family together.
