Pied Falconet 白腿小隼 Microhierax melanoleucos

We have 4 target birds wanted to see in our trip to JiangXi (Wuershan & Wuyuan). However, we could only get 3 only and this is the last target bird we got at Wuyuan.

..in the evening sun above us, the Falconets honoured the 20m high tree - more than we had hoped for already. However, its shrill calls and lively head-pumping can't be conveyed by a photo!
