Japanese sparrowhawk, Tsumi,ツミ

IUCN Rred list category: Least Concern

Eight years ago, when I was taking a photograph of Japanese sparrowhwak in a place approximately 30m away from their nest building tree, the female attacked me suddenly.

I was surprised and lay on my back and returned, but the camera was in safe.
