A juvenile red goshawk scavenging a wedge-tailed eagle's wallaby carcass on a low tree stump in the Cape York woodland of Australia.


The red goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus) is probably the rarest Australian bird of prey. It is found mainly in the savanna woodlands of northern Australia, particularly near watercourses. It takes a broad range of live prey, mostly birds.
