This year I saw a few new (to me) kinds of birds, and one of them is this lovely red-backed shrike. I am not completely sure that the bird on the photo is a red-backed shrike, though, but judging by the picture it seems like it. What I really like about this bird is that it is about the size of a sparrow, but it has a very serious face and a beak that reminds me of birds of prey.

It is the first time I see this kind of bird.
I saw it for the first time a few months ago, I guess it’s good at hiding.
I have never seen a shrike before so I will take your word for it. Lovely photo.
Thank you so much, Pamela!
Thank you very much for stopping by!
Pretty bird, dear friend … judging by the beak, it’s really a predator
Thank you so much for stopping by!
With great pleasure, dear Ellie
A beautiful bird, I’ve never seen it. It really looks very strict.
Thank you very much, dear friend! 🙂
Very cute bird, unfortunately never seen it before, so don’t know if it is a red-backed shrike or not.
Thank you so much! I have only seen it once at the seaside.
well as always your picture of the bird is perfect.
I have no idea what the bird is, but I love the capture!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I love most birds and feed those that come into my garden. Some become quite tame.
We love feeding the birds too. More and more come each year. 🙂
I have never seen this bird before, what a lovely capture.
Thank you so much! It lives in Europe and the near parts of Africa and Asia.
they are tiny little raptors. they’re viscous things…
I don’t know why, but this really made me smile.
they push much larger birds around
The problem with me is I am poor when it comes to naming birds.
Me too, I found its name thanks to some help from internet friends.
Only in photos have I seen this beauty.
It lives in Europe and the near parts of Africa and Asia.
I have never seen one before but it is a very cute bird
It’s cute indeed, and I have only seen it once so far. Thanks for stopping by!
