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
@alensonnature nice photo, and definitely better than my handheld shot 😝
@sufw Gosh, what a moment! Thankfully I got my gear out and set up before this little one flew off...otherwise it would have been zero for me. Your handheld shot is still a winner. πŸ‘πŸ» ...and what's that you keep telling me? Better any shot than not shot at all. 😊
@alensonnature cute even if it could take my finger off lol πŸ˜†
