Shrike are migrant birds which drop by to Malaysia in the months September till April. It can be seen everywhere in the urban gardens coastal fields and fringes of hill & lowland forest.
Preys on Insects and ground grub. Unlike the Brown Shrike which set
up territorial rights by giving harsh chattering call for the weeks of arrival
the former is some what quiet.
This is my latest shot at Taman Negara October 2019 at a close distance of only 25ft. in condusive lighting and background. I would say in perfect chance. This a Juvenile/ First winter without its black mask and black-tipped pinkish mandible It is still fully brown from head to tail. They are one of the first visitors in the coming wintering season up north. Beside Shrikes; the Siberian Blue Robin can seen at most our the favorite ports.
