Here is another of our Cuckoo Shrikes, this one is a White Bellied Cuckoo Shrike.

Sometimes known as the 'Caterpillar Bird'....cannot think why...

Very nicely composed shot. These birds may be pests, but they sure photograph well.

They are not regarded as pests in the UK, in fact they are in steep decline.

Drat! My age-addled mind is having a proper brain-fart:oops:
Sorry Trik, but while I know this bird (and have seen it's kind probably in this very thread) I just can't connect a proper name to it. This was one of a pair that must be newer birds in the NC Zoo free-flight aviary. Can someone shout out a name for me?

What a neat looking bird. Very nice shot, Pax.

I've seen boxers look like this after being on the wrong end of a powerful punch

Hilarious!!

That's unfortunate, but over here they need to do a little declining in numbers.
