Collared Sparrowhawk

The Collared Sparrowhawk, known scientifically as <em>Accipiter cirrocephalus</em>, is a small bird of prey belonging to the family Accipitridae. As a member of the genus Accipiter, <em>Accipiter cirrocephalus</em> is characterised by its short, rounded wings and long tail, adaptations that enable agile manoeuvring through forest and woodland habitats while pursuing bird prey.

Adult males of this species often display a distinctive rufous collar on the nape, which contributes to the species' common name.

The Collared Sparrowhawk is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
