Just sorting through some unsorted photos from a few months ago. Got this little fella on the Bigma while I was still in Japan.

Beautiful capture Mike! He looks a little bit like a shrike to me, but I am not familiar with it either way!

Thanks Summerz. It's clear enough at that res, but wasn't one of the sharpest shots. Pretty enough all the same.

Yeah I did indeed Jeff. Got mixed up when posting that the other night.

These are everywhere in Hiroshima along the river.

That is a really pretty shrike Mike!

Giphsub

Hehe. Thanks BigAl.

Excellent capture in some nice light.

Very handsome shrike! It looks almost identical to the loggerhead shrike we have here in the US except for the rufous chest and belly plumage.

Thanks Harry. If I remember right, that day was quite overcast. Probably good for shooting that little fella, but horrible for shooting the black kites, which is what I went to do...

Thanks Steve. I haven't seen any here in Aus, but I probably wouldn't have known what I was looking at when I used to live here. I'll keep an eye out now.
