Brown Shrike, Lanius cristatus, is a migratory bird about 18 cm in size. It migrates from Northern Asia toward south at the end of summer and early fall. By the end of October, most of them that arrive at Taiwan move further south. Some will stay and winter here. Those that stayed will start to migrate back to the North in April or May. I photographed this little thing yesterday, April 3 at Taan Park in Taipei.

Thanks for your visit to my sparrows. You are right we shouldn't mess with nature. I think all creatures are needed and our vegetation depends on these creatures. Have a great week!
Gogroeus little bird and another on my list of ones I won't get here.
great close-up!
Beautiful Shrike and great photography.
I got some Shrike photos this past Fall. They were a first for me, as I had never seen a Shrike before. My photos, however, come nowhere close to comparing to this spectacular shot!
Ah! Waht a great catch on your birthday!
