Chinese Sparrowhawk

A female Chinese Sparrowhawk. She showed no fear of people at all — even when I got out of the car and set up a tripod she didn't flee. Afterward she caught a cicada and ate it in the undergrowth. If only I'd known it was a Chinese Sparrowhawk, I'd have taken a lot more shots!!
