Random Finds: Long-tailed Shrike

Saw this bird at the same some for two consecutive days na. Nakita ko siya kahapon nung umuwi ako kahapon at 4pm. Saw it again at the same spot kanina nung umuwi ako ng around 6pm. Medyo creepy lang nung sinearch ko. Apparently this bird is called a "Long-Tailed Shrike". Its species is also known as "butcher birds". Bakit "butcher"? Tinutusok lang naman nila sa mga tinik na halaman, matutulis na sanga or barbed wire yung mga prey nila like insects, lizards or even smaller birds. Yikes. Nakakatuwa makakita ng mga bagay na bago sa acting paningin, pero once you dig deeper mas marami kang malalaman... or.. may mga bagay na you'd wish na you didn't know nalang. Skl.
