Restricted now to the tropical north, the mysterious red goshawk is fast disappearing as a result of climate change and habitat loss

The soft thrum of their deep, powerful, metre-wide wings can be heard from the ground as they accelerate, before they silently swoop and bank like some feathered fighter jet.
