Summary

Description
English: :Female adult goshawk. Perched on a lime tree (Tilia sp.). Same tree as [XC395460]
The goshawk saw me before I saw her, and called, reacting to my presence (alarm call). I then left the area.
Recorded using a directional microphone, at ca. 35 m. Normalized to -3dB. 300Hz low cut filter. Urban setting, cemetery. Some microphone cable noise.
I returned later that day before sunset. After making sure the goshawk was not there, I found rock pigeon feathers (Columbia livia) underneath the tree, in a pattern similar to [XC396292], corresponding to prey butchered on a branch.
At ca. 10m. distance from the tree, I found rests of a long-eared owl (Asio otus) butchered on the ground. I also found what I think is a pellet, so it appears the prey was eaten on the ground. I can rule out that the owl was the predator, as there were a lot of owl feathers and no feathers of any other bird. Thanks to Frank Holzapfel and Piotr Szczypinski for identifying the feathers (I first thought this was a kestrel).
I collected feathers and posted a picture to iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/9241283).
At around sunset (15:55), a goshawk called from another lime tree at ca. 90m. distance, and then flew into a spruce.
