This was one of many Woodchat Shrikes I saw in Cyprus in April and I captured these images near Akrotiri reedbeds. Using the car as a moving hide I was able to get these images.April is one of the best times to visit Cyprus as the bird migration is in full swing during that month.
I took these images of a Woodchat Shrike at Cape Grekko and Aya Napa sewages works. I saw over ten during my 3 weeks in Cyprus.If you closely in image one and three you wil see this Shrike sitting guard over the spiked Buttefly or moth is has caught. These are lovely looking birds and I was pleased to capture images of them as I had not seen one before.
