Abstract
Dewhurst, C. F. 1986. The breeding ecology of the African Goshawk at Karen, Nairobi, Kenya. Ostrich 57: 1–8. A pair of African Goshawks Accipiter tachiro began nest-building in November 1982. Eggs hatched on 7 January and one of the two young birds took its first flight on 11 February. Prey fed to the juveniles consisted of birds, chameleons, a toad and a Bush Squirrel, The nest was vacated in mid-February and the juveniles left the nest area during the latter part of March. Both young fledged successfully. The following year both young from the second nesting were killed before they left the nest.Keywords
