Een drinkende en badende Havik Accipiter gentilis

In the evening of 10 October 2002, an adult male Northern Goshawk was seen drinking in four consecutive, very brief bouts using the dip-and-tilt method while standing in shallow water. Between landing and drinking, two minutes had elapsed, used to scrutinize the environment. Almost immediately afterwards, he switched position and started stand-in bathing for 6 minutes. He became thoroughly soaked underneath, and as a consequence was hampered in gaining speed and height when flying away to nearby woodland.
