Loggerhead Shrike

Tough little guys to get close to and get a level angle shot.

well done John- cute but voracious little guys

Thanks Bob and so true.

Very nice photo, well done.

Thank you.

Cool shot, John. Pick your landing site carefully!

Thanks Rog. Yeah, that is a sticky landing area.

We have them here in Crete too, getting near enough is another matter though. You did very well Rog, its a great shot.

Excellent pic, nice setting John. I only ever see them sitting on barbed wire.

Thanks Red. I feel very lucky as was able to sneak in while the bird was looking away AND get set up without disturbing the bird.

Thanks Ian. I usually see them on wires most of the time too.

Nicely captured John!

What a lovely little bird, and shot. Great setting.

Thank you both.

Beautiful capture.
And something I've noticed, they stay close to the thorny bushes
they remind me of the famous Romanian, Vlad

Thank you,

LOL, so true.
