A Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) perched in full side profile on a dark weathered wooden post. The bird displays slate-grey upperparts, a finely barred cream and brown chest, bright yellow legs with dark talons, and a striking amber-orange eye. It leans forward slightly in an alert posture, head turned toward the viewer. The background is a smooth bokeh of deep green foliage with soft yellow flower shapes. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.

The #birdoftheday theme is #sideprofiles. A Northern Goshawk perched in perfect profile.

A Northern Goshawk perched in sharp side-profile on top of a dark weathered wooden post. The bird faces right, showing a striking amber-orange eye, hooked black beak, slate-grey upperparts, and a cream-white chest with dense dark brown barring. Its bright yellow feet and long black talons grip the post firmly. The background is a lush, softly blurred wall of green foliage with hints of yellow flowers. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.
