The White-rumped Falcon is a distinctive medium-sized falcon of Southeast Asia, recognized by its prominent white rump and its preference for dry, open woodlands and savannas.
Where to spot
Dry deciduous forests, open woodlands, and savannas in mainland Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
How to spot
Look for its pale grey head, dark upperparts, pale underparts, and the striking white rump (visible in flight). Often perches prominently on isolated trees or snags, scanning for prey.
When to spot
Active during the day, especially prominent during the dry season when vegetation is sparser. Observable year-round.
