This is considered a rare sighting in much of the state / country, but in this region, they are present in dozens. I was quite happy with the sightings.
A pretty large shrike, visibly larger than the other shrikes in that we often see around. The bird is truly black, white and grey without any other visible color on it - much like the era of black and white films. We found it perched on small shrubs from where it would dive to the ground or to a plant to catch something - often an insect or caterpillar. When we tried to get a tad closer, she flew onto the power cable where it rested for quite a while!
A 3 day visit to a wonderful sanctuary yielded almost nothing except for some birds that I have seen before. It was raining cats and dogs in my hometown, while it was quite hot and too bright in the sanctuary - due to that there were little interesting there.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
