Juvenile. Was trying to catch drongos and starlings for at least 10 minutes without success. The drongos and starlings were not afraid to taunt the predator and merely avoided his attacks, settling back in the same tree as their attacker. The sparrowhawk was no bigger than the birds he was chasing! |
