Elang-alap eurasia

The Eurasian Sparrowhawk (<em>Accipiter nisus</em>) is a widespread and well-known raptor of the family Accipitridae (Hawks, Eagles & Kites), occurring across much of Europe and Asia. It is closely associated with forest habitats, including mixed woodland, conifer plantations, and wooded farmland where it hunts small birds with remarkable speed and agility. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature for this record, though the species is known to display strong sexual dimorphism in size. Geographic range data are not fully documented here, but the Eurasian Sparrowhawk breeds widely across the Palearctic and winters across a broad southern range. Diet information is not recorded in the available data; the species is primarily an avivore, taking passerines and other small birds. Nesting is recorded as platform-type (PL), with an incubation period of 32 to 34 days and fledging occurring 26 to 30 days after hatching. Clutch size ranges from 1 to 7 eggs. The Eurasian Sparrowhawk is assessed as Least Concern, with a large and generally stable population.
