Thanks for the comments, Tomas and Dirk. I believe it is a juvenile - very fresh plumage and extensive yellow base to the bill. There was a good passage of these birds on Happy Island last week on the first clear day after 3 days of rain.

Thanks Tomas. We found one Japanese Sparrowhawk suspended in a tree with a broken neck - it had clearly collided with a branch, probably chasing a small warbler.

Beskrivelse: A pale Crested (Oriental) Honey Buzzard. Note the 6 'fingers' and the lack of a dark carpal patch, both good features of Crested vs European.
