Spotted
The Philippine Falconet is one of the smallest raptors in the world, endemic to the Philippines. It is a tiny, agile predator of insects and small vertebrates found in forest and open woodland.
Where to spot
Forest edges, clearings, and open woodlands across many islands in the Philippines.
How to spot
Look for its extremely small size, black upperparts, white underparts, and prominent white eyebrow. Often seen perched on exposed branches at the top of trees, darting out to catch prey mid-air.
When to spot
Active during the day, particularly in the morning and late afternoon when insects are most active. Observable year-round.
