This week's hunt for #featheredfriends is raptors or birds in prey like eagles, falcons, hawks and a few others not to mention them all and I was actually waiting on these particular types of hunting bird theme to turn up here, because only a few weeks ago, I was going through my archive of Koh Samui Island vacation and I remembered I had photographed a Goshawk on Chaweng Beach, it was common to see different types of Raptors birds on Koh Samui Island often when we were out hiking around in the mountains we would see them soaring and gliding above us but always to high, to try and photograph them but occasionally you would get some young Thai guys walking along the beaches with either Sea Eagles or Hawks on there perching on there shoulders were they would allow you to take photos of them at a small fee and I remembered, I had taken these photos of this Goshawk that use to be perched on this circular steel rod out front of this restaurant-bar on Chaweng beach and he loved the attention well, I finally found them in my archive so now, I have a chance to show off this beautiful Goshawk, this is for you @nelinoeva I know you love these guys.

This Goshawk was actually tamed and they are not easy to train you need to spend many hours with them constantly reminding them, there daily manning otherwise they lose their training very quickly but I was surprised to see this one spread his wings fly away do his bit of bird watching over the ocean and return back to his perch. They are really a lovely bird with beautiful marking, they have broad wings, sharp talons and yellow legs normally they have a lifespan on average of 7 years and the female Goshawk is generally larger than the male Goshawk. One think, I did notice this Goshawk seemed very happy and content to be with his owner otherwise he would not have come back to his perch and he flew away several times and came back.

Fabulous photos of the Goshawk! @kohsamui99
They look so intelligent.🦅
I want one to keep our husky entertained. She loves sitting outside on the deck watching birds come to the feeder and looks up to the sky to see the geese gawk as they fly overhead.
Tell me it's a good idea!😀
Good luck in the contest!
Thank you @ninahaskin well i think a Goshawk are harder to train and they won't hang around to long maybe a Budgerigar or one of them Asia fluffy chickens they get on with dogs better 😊
Wonderful Photography. At first I thought it was an eagle. Photographed in many beautiful ways.
Thank you @kawsar8035 when you look at the head alone they do look like a eagle yeah !!
Amazing shots!

This is incredible, to see such majestic and beautiful bird so close.
I think I haven't seen Goshawk yet, I would love to have such chance.
Wonderful entry! 🙂
It was really awesome to see this one @nelinoeva and so up close he even allowed me to scratch him on the head and it was a first for me seeing a Goshawk 😊
Now I am jealous, you scratched his head!😀
wonderful photos !!! beautiful bird!
Thank you @tali72 for your nice comment 😊
Great captures! Although more and more I resent seeing wild animals restrained and used as money making machines...
Thank you @pardinus and i get what you mean i am not a fan of that either.
In our vernacular we would normally say, "Galing galing" which means very good or job well done. But to extraordinarily and exceptionally efforts we say, and this goes for your photos above, "Super galing" 😊👏👏👏😊
Ahhh, your to cool with your words but thank you @gems.and.cookies have a great weekend 👍
