Nesting chronology of northern goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) in Wales: implications for forest management

E. P. TOYNE *

Department of Biology, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, Prince Consort Road, London SW7 2BB England

Northern Goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) in Wales built or refurbished nests between September and April in a semi-upland environment. Dates of first egg-laying ranged between late March and mid-May. There was no statistically significant annual difference in these dates. Most young hatched in late May and juveniles had left their nesting territories by early August. Goshawks did not tolerate disturbance from forestry operations during incubation and the early chick stage, and breeding failures occurred as a result of disturbance. However, once the young fledged (mid July), forestry operations were no longer detrimental as adults and young moved to adjacent forested areas
