This tiny falcon is usually seen perched high up on an exposed snag towering above open forests. Generally uncommon and sparsely distributed throughout its range. Black above and pale below with rusty red throat and vent. Long dark stripe trailing behind the eye gives the bird a rather comical, panda-like appearance. Social; lives in family groups that are often seen grooming one another.

One of the world’s smallest #raptors; the #collaredfalconet (Microhierax caerulescens). We spotted it by chance, and then it was a mad scramble to get our gear out of the car, set up, and to start shooting. The light was fading and this falconet was already appearing anxious; looking left to right, left to right. A few minutes later, it flew off. What a wonderful sighting and thankful to have been able to get a few shots. Thailand. #falconet #BirdsSeenIn2023 #birding #birdphotography
