Falconidae
Small to medium-sized birds of prey that kill with their beaks (as opposed to Accipters that kill with their talons)
Collared Falconet
This trip featured a lot of raptors and some very special ones for me. We spent a few hours perched on a machan in the forenoon inside the core zone of the park, and this enterprising Collared Falconet landed on a nearby branch and gave us a fantastic view. This being a lifer for me made it all the more sweet.
