A Bay Backed Shrike basking ready for a dive
A resident shrike species - the most beautiful of the 3-4 we have here and a common bird in the countryside. They are easy to id and differentiated from their 2 other cousins by the thick brownish red coat on their backs. Size wise, they are also small and easy to distinguish visually.
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. Much appreciated.
