The White-fronted Falconet is a miniature raptor endemic to the island of Borneo, distinguished by its white forehead and its agile hunting of insects and small vertebrates.
Where to spot
Open woodlands, forest edges, and cultivated areas with tall trees on the island of Borneo.
How to spot
Look for its tiny size, black upperparts, white underparts, and the key field mark of the white forehead in males (females have black). Often perched on exposed branches, launching rapid aerial pursuits.
When to spot
Active during the day, particularly during warmer hours when its insect prey is active. Observable year-round.
