Red-backed Shrike

Lanius collurio

Long-distance traveler. It represents in these mountains the southern limit of its breeding distribution, which it has recently colonized. The hooked bill and the more frontal vision than other birds, makes it an effective hunter of insects and small vertebrates. It leaves them stuck in thorny bushes as a reservoir. Habitual behavior of shrikes.
