After wandering around in the forest of Chaloerm Ratanakosin National Park I returned to the cabin we were staying in to find this bird perched on a piece of bamboo.
Chinese Sparrowhawk - female (30cm).
Sorry about the poor shot. I picked this up at last light just after a storm so rather poor light.
Thousands of Chinese Sparrowhawk migrate through southern Taiwan this time of year. They are not too common up in central Taiwan where I am so a lovely...
This is an adult bird and it used to be also called Chinese Goshawk, Horsfield's Goshawk, and Frog Hawk. Don't know why it had so many names before. Hope you like it ....
Thanks
