The red-backed shrike is a small bird of prey.
The length of her body is about 17 – 20 cm, the width of the wings – 30 cm and weighs about 30 years.
There is a well-pronounced sexual dimorphism, the male is brightly colored, while the female is masked brown, black-stained plumage. In appearance, the female is similar to the female sparrow’s female.
Young birds are fired like females.
The beak is strong and with a slightly curved down half upper.
It is found in Europe (including Bulgaria), Asia and Africa.
Bird of prey. Usually breeds in Europe (including Bulgaria) and Asia, and winter in Africa.
It inhabits predominantly open, shrubs and overgrown forests.
Gorgeous shots, she’s pretty!
Obviously a very common bird, because I came across a couple with a young bird elsewhere.
that sexual dimorphism is prevalent in the avian kingdom; the males need colorful plumage to attract mates while the females try to blend into the background to protect the genetic potential of their species…
I had a new meeting with Red-backed shrike! I shot a young bird too!
While I don’t think they qualify as raptors, the shrike has a reputation for viciousness
Beautiful photos as always.
For several weeks I’ve taken other pictures!
I love this little bird. Very beautiful
Thank you for the comment!!!
I do not know which bird is talking about.
Can the Latin name.
Except for the predator, I wonder if the bird is a singer.
Lanius collurio.
Member of the family Laniidae and I have not heard her sounds.
