Accipiter cirrocephalus (Collared Sparrowhawk). These birds breed here each Summer … no doubt taking a heavy toll on the populations of small birds. We have even seen them in pursuit of the Sacred Kingfishers. This is one of the juveniles. The unfortunate prey? Unidentifiable, but definitely a bird.

Accipiter cirrocephalus (Collared Sparrowhawk). The juveniles have now fledged, so there are at least 4 hungry hunters at work … perhaps as many as 6! Collared Sparrowhawks can have 2-4 young, and we see (and hear!) the young ones all day, every day.
