Other birds of prey nesting in the area may also appear such as Eurasian sparrowhawk, common kestrel and common buzzard... if the goshawk lets them....
The hide is located is a former fruit orchard surrounded by Mediterranean forest in Casinos (Valencia), in a game reserve just a 30 minute car ride from Valencia city centre.

The hide's orientation affords ideal lighting conditions for photography from dawn until midday, when the mirrored glass conceals any movements inside the hide.
