2024年2月12日 · Certainly looks like a sparrowhawk in the general sense of the word, i.e. a small Accipiter hawk. However I believe there are a couple of other sparrowhawk species to consider in Japan as well as the Eurasian sparrowhawk, and I don't know how easy it is to distinguish between them, or if any of the definitive ID features would be visible in this photo and video...

2020年11月16日 · Hi friends: I joined the forum today. I am from Chennai, South India. Couple of months in to the lockdown I started bird watching thru the window and got addicted. Bought a Nikon P900 x83 zoom not for photography but to see the birds closer post clicking and identifying them. Thus far got to 75...

2006年11月3日 · A Eurasian Sparrowhawk doesn't quite correspond to a Sharp-shinned Hawk, more like it fills the gap between Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawk. Note the size range for each species and gender: Length in Centimeters: Male / Female Sharp-shinned 23-28 / 28-33 Sparrowhawk 29-34 / 35-41

(The breast is sort of grey, consistent with some blurred markings - e.g. the thin dark-over-white transverse markings of a female sparrowhawk - but we can't actually see the ...

2023年1月27日 · It's not a Sparrowhawk at all in my opinion - the bill shape and size, the eye and the tail pattern all rule out Sparrowhawk for me - but, hey. I have no experience of your region, but the tail pattern and the eye ring suggest to me one of …

2017年8月27日 · Combination of strongly streaked underparts, short pp and thick tarsi rule out Eurasian Sparrowhawk while weakly barred upper tail and the thick tarsi are wrong for Besra. I don't think the images are quite good enough to make out the precise colour of the orbital ring which is grey in Shikra; yellow in Eurasian Sparrowhawk and Besra. Grahame
