File:A Bay Backed Shrike Surveying for prey (51443446679).jpg

A seasonal shrike species that is quite beautiful and now starting to make its appearance all over the countryside. They come in 1000's during the winter from Central Asia and they are separated by their cousins here by the thick brownish red coat on their backs.

Apart from the minor coloration difference, behaviour wise they are very similar the Long Tailed Shrike and Brown Shrike, though the Long tailed Shrike is the biggest of all.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
