Description

In early 2020 wildlife cameraman James Aldred was commissioned to film the lives of a family of Goshawks in the New Forest his childhood home He began to plan a treetop hide in a remote site that would allow him to film the Gos nest the newly hatched chicks and the lives of these elusive and enchanting birds

Then lockdown And as the world retreated something remarkable happened The noise of our everyday stilled No more cars no more offroaders no more airplanes roaring in the skies no one in the Goshawk woods except James

At this unique moment James was granted a once in a lifetime opportunity to keep filming And so over Spring and into Summer he began to record his experiences in a place empty of people but filled with birdsong and new life

Amidst the fragility and the fear there was silver moonlight tumbling fox cubs calling curlew and of course the soaring Goshawks shining like fire through one of our darkest times A Goshawk summer unlike any other
