Follow the fortunes of a pair of goshawks as they seek to successfully raise and care for their young at the top of one of the Forest’s tall trees. e return of goshawks to the New Forest is a conservation success story. Absent for over 120 years, the rst pair returned here in 2002. Since then, a team at Forestry England have been working hard to help ensure that they are able to breed successfully and today there are around 45 pairs. Despite living in the New Forest all year round, goshawk are notoriously di cult to spot, earning them the nickname of ‘phantoms of the forest’. Extremely agile iers, they silently weave between trees and shrubs in pursuit of prey. e nest cam, sponsored by Tropic Skincare, provides a unique view on the hidden world of the goshawk from the canopy of a 60 Douglas r tree. Viewers will be able to watch as the pair attempt to successfully hatch, protect, feed and edge their young. Each year, Forestry England’s wildlife team closely monitor the fortunes of the birds and this year they will also study the nest cam footage for breeding and nesting behaviours. Before chicks edge, the team ring, measure and weigh them to assess how they are developing and whether the forest o ers the right conditions to sustain the population. Rings recovered from these birds helps the team understand where the birds disperse to and, as their population spreads beyond the Forest across Hampshire and neighbouring counties, the factors behind their continuing success. Andy Page, Head of Wildlife, Forestry England South District, said: “The return of goshawks to the New Forest is a real conservation success story and it’s great to see them thriving here. We spend many hours each year monitoring these fascinating birds to help ensure that our forest management activities support them. Our nest monitoring of this top predator’s gives us a good indication of the overall health of our woodland as a place to support a diversity of species.” Goshawk nest cam (Credit Forestry England) Observation Evening Railway Correspondence and Travel Society (RCT) and Mid Hants Railway, Solent Branch meetings are held in association with Mid Hants Railway – Southampton and Waterside Group.
