Which does ‘which’ in the yellow block indicate

Diana is genuinely interested in all forms of bad news. Her senses are finely tuned to the small scurries and squeaks of panic in her friends’ lives, which like the bird of prey she slightly resembles she picks up even when passing at a distance. Like a sparrow hawk she drops down on her victims with deadly precision; and having extorted the bad news, having killed and eaten, as it were, she is content to sit still, one leg elegantly crossed over the other, smiling in a generalized fashion, absorbed by the pleasure of digestion.
“So tell me about Nick.”

Which does ‘which’ in the yellow block indicate and what’s the meaning of the block?
