Came across these two raptors flying about amongst the Casuarina trees. It looked as it their talons were locked as they stumbled through the foliage. One bird managed to regain its balance on a thin branch whilst the other hung below it. It took a few seconds of struggling before the bird below managed to break free and the chase resumed. ID is going to be a bit difficult as there was no clear oppurtunity. I'm guessing they were sparrowhawks.
Singapore has two main types of sparrowhawks :
and they are part of the Accipeter genus :
