The Little Sparrowhawk (<em>Accipiter minullus</em>) is one of the smallest members of the family Accipitridae (Hawks, Eagles & Kites), a compact and agile raptor found across forest habitats of sub-Saharan Africa. It occupies woodland and forest edges where its small size allows it to pursue prey through dense vegetation with great agility. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature, though its diminutive form is characteristic of small accipiters adapted to swift aerial hunting. Geographic range data are not fully documented here. Diet information is not recorded in the available data, but small accipiters of this type typically prey on small birds and insects. Nesting is recorded as platform-type (PL), with an incubation period of 31 to 32 days and fledging occurring 25 to 27 days after hatching. Clutch size ranges from 1 to 3 eggs. Song and call descriptions are not documented in the available data. The Little Sparrowhawk is assessed as Least Concern, reflecting an apparently stable population.
