Spotted
The Collared Falconet is a tiny and attractive raptor native to parts of Southeast Asia, notable for its petite size and habit of perching prominently while hunting.
Where to spot
Open broadleaf forests, forest edges, and woodlands from the Himalayas eastward through Southeast Asia, including parts of India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
How to spot
Look for its very small size, dark upperparts, rufous underparts, and a distinctive white collar that extends around the nape. It often makes short, swift flights to snatch insects or small birds.
When to spot
Active during the day. Look for it in the mornings and late afternoons. Observable year-round.
