Black-thighed falconet, Microhierax fringillarius, Helang Belalang, This is one of the smallest birds of prey, typically measuring between 14–16 centimetres long, with a 27–32 centimetres wingspan, which is a size comparable to a typical sparrow. It is native to Brunei, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. The typical habitat is forest, forest edge and wooded open area.[1] It can also frequently be found around human cultivation, villages, and near active slash-and-burn forest clearance; often by rivers, streams, and paddy fields. Falconet mainly feeds on insects, including moths, butterflies, dragonflies, alate termites and cicadas, occasional small birds, and lizards. Much of the prey is taken during quick flights from a perch. Sepasang Helang Belalang sedang tekun menangkap pepatung yang banyak berterbangan selepas hujan dari puncak sebatang pokok mati. Pada mulanya saya sangkakan ia adalah burung perling kerana saiznya yang kecil dan silhouette hitam akibat backlight. Apabila zoom in dengan lens rupa-rupanya ia adalah sepasang Helang Belalang yang memang telah lama saya cari. Spesis ini biasanya menghuni kawasan hutan dan pinggir hutan dengan bertenggek di dahan paling tinggi, lazimnya sepasang. Makanan utamanya adalah serangga yang disambar dengan kakinya kala terbang seperti pepatung, rama rama, kupu kupu termasuk burung-burung kecil dan cicak.
